It was founded in 1879 as Shanghai Public Band, one of the earliest orchestras in Eastern Asia. It was renamed to Shanghai Municipal Council Symphony Orchestra in 1922. Starting in 1919, an Italian pianist, Mario Paci, served as conductor for 23 years. He expanded the ensemble into a full-scale orchestra. After the establishment of the People's Republic of China, the orchestra changed its name a few times, and in 1956, adopted its current name. See more details at .
