(NB there is also an orchestra known as the Berlin Symphony Orchestra-current Principal Conductor:Lior Shambadal. It was founded in 1967 through the merger of two orchestras, one of which was also known as the Berlin Symphony Orchestra. The confusion comes through the translation of German into English. The original orchestra was the Berliner Symphonisches Orchester (1949-1967), the new orchestra the Symphonisches Orchester Berlin (1967-1990). The present orchestra is the Berliner Symphoniker.
Actually, come to think of it......this is just as confusing in German as in English!!)
