History

Founded in 1989 to make up for the lack of symphonic concerts in the Brittany region, it is composed of 44 musicians. Its activity is divided between the opera season of the Opéra de Rennes and the concerts it gives throughout the region, in France and abroad.[3]

The musical director has been Grant Llewellyn since 2015.

The general manager is Marc Feldman.

In early 2015, the Orchestre National de Bretagne launched its own record label.[4]
