The Orchestre National Bordeaux Aquitaine (ONBA) is the symphony orchestra of the city of Bordeaux and the accompanying orchestra for the productions of the Opéra National de Bordeaux and its ballet company. It traces its origins to the orchestra of the Société Sainte-Cécile, founded in Bordeaux in the mid-19th century. In 1940 the conductor Gaston Poulet formed the Société des Concerts du Conservatoire, which became the Orchestre Philharmonique de Bordeaux after the Second World War and the Orchestre Symphonique de Bordeaux in 1963 under Jacques Pernoo. Renamed Orchestre de Bordeaux Aquitaine in the early 1970s, it was led from 1973 to 1987 by Roberto Benzi. It took its present name during the tenure of Alain Lombard (1988-1995), and has since been directed by John Neschling (1996-1998), Hans Graf (1998-2004), Christian Lauba (2004-2006), Kwamé Ryan (2007-2013) and Paul Daniel (2013-2023). The American conductor and violinist Joseph Swensen became music director with the 2024-2025 season. The orchestra gives its symphonic seasons at the Auditorium de Bordeaux while continuing to play for opera and ballet at the Grand-Théâtre. Rondo DB
