In the middle of the 19th century the call for a permanent professional orchestra became louder and louder in Zurich
In 1862, after a few difficulties, a first orchestral association was established.
After the Swiss music festival in Zurich in 1867, interested circles were able to use the enthusiasm and to establish a joint-stock company in 1868 with the aim of promoting music life through a permanent orchestra: the Tonhalle-Society Zurich, which is still the owner of the Tonhalle Orchestra Zurich and is organized as an association.
