des Orchestres

The Association Française des Orchestres is the professional organization of reference for orchestras; it has been since 2000. 

The Association Française des Orchestres was created on the initiative of permanent orchestras with the support of the General Direction of Artistic Creation (DGCA – Ministry of Culture).
