The '''Czech Philharmonic Orchestra''' (''Česká filharmonie'' in Czech language) is based in [[Prague]] and is probably the most famous and respected [[orchestra]] in the [[Czech Republic]].
It was formerly the orchestra of the Prague National [[Opera]]. It played its first concert under its current name on January 4, 1896, when [[Antonin Dvorak]] conducted his own compositions, but did not become fully independent from the opera until 1901. In 1908, [[Gustav Mahler]] led the orchestra in the world premiere of his ''[[Symphony No. 7 (Mahler)|Symphony No. 7]]''.
The orchestra first became internationally known under the baton of [[Václav Talich]], who was principal conductor from 1919 to 1931, and again from 1933 to 1941. His successors have included [[Rafael Kubelík]] (1941-48), [[Karel Ančerl]] (1950-68), [[Václav Neumann]] (1968-89), [[Jiri Belohlavek|Jiří Bělohlávek]] (1990-92), and [[Gerd Albrecht]] (1993-96). In 1998 [[Vladimir Ashkenazy]], better known as a [[pianist]], took up the post. Since September 1. 2003 Zdenek Macal has been the chief conductor.
Their Chief Guest conductor is [[Charles Mackerras]].
The Czech Philharmonic Orchestra was nominated for [[Grammy Awards]] 2005.
