About the Stockholm Postal Orchestra
Stockholm Postal Orchestra (Postorkestern)
was founded 1938 by postal employed union members in Stockholm. Initially
the orchestra consisted of a brass octet playing at union meetings.
The Orchestra has grown since and is today a
symphonic wind ensemble with 30 members. Today’s orchestra, led by
Martin Conradsson, has a wide repertoire including Swedish and
international music in different genres: classic, musicals, marches and
original music for wind ensemble.
The Stockholm Postal orchestra is hired to play
entertainment music at exhibitions, trade shows, openings and regularly
arranges own concerts, sometimes with guest soloists.
In 1978, members of the Stockholm Postal Orchestra
founded a big band, which today is called Air
Mail Big Band.
