Czech National Symphony Orchestra (ČNSO) (Czech: Český národní symfonický orchestr) is a symphony orchestra in Prague in the Czech Republic. It was established in 1993 by trumpet player Jan Hasenöhrl. Paul Freeman has served as the orchestra's music director and principal conductor since 1996.
In 1996, the orchestra played on the Ulf Lundell album På andra sidan drömmarna.
When Lotta Engberg turned 40 years old in 2003, she went to Prague to record the ballad Nära livets mening together with the orchestra. The song was included on the 2005 album Kvinna & man, as the last track [1].
On 20 August 2003, in a Symphonic Game Music Concert in Leipzig, Germany the orchestra became the first act to perform music written for video games live outside Japan.
