As one of Germany's leading symphony orchestras, it has earned the patronage of influential media outlets in the country, such as NDR (North German Radio). It has been in operation since 1945, the year it was founded after the end of the Second World War, and is still in operation today.

It has performed everything from Nazi-era musicians to iconic 18th-century Romantic pieces by artists such as Bruckner and Beethoven, and even more modern creations. The building is known as Elphi and is considered one of the most acoustically avant-garde philharmonic halls, as well as being architecturally unique.
