-The '''Pärnu City Orchestra''' ({{lang-et|Pärnu Linnaorkester}}) is a symphony orchestra based in [[Pärnu]], Estonia.<ref name="EMIC">{{cite web |title=Pärnu City Orchestra |url=https://www.emic.ee/?sisu=interpreedid&mid=59&id=131&lang=eng&action=view&method=biograafia |website=Estonian Music Information Centre |access-date=15 February 2021}}</ref>
-==History==
-The Pärnu City Orchestra was founded in 1994,<ref name="EMIC" /> although its origins can be traced back to a [[salon music|salon orchestra]] that was founded by a pair of local musicians in 1920.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Ajalugu |url=https://parnuorkester.ee/ajalugu/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928212741/https://parnuorkester.ee/ajalugu/ |archive-date=September 28, 2023 |access-date=September 28, 2023 |website=Pärnu Linnaorkester |language=Estonian}}</ref> Its first music director was {{ill|Loit Lepalaan|et}}, who was succeeded by [[Jüri Alperten]] in 1998. Considered the decisive figure in the orchestra's history, he began a tradition of conducting programs of [[Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart]]'s music on his birthday, with [[Kalle Randalu]] at the piano. An all-Mozart program that had been scheduled for his 65th birthday became a memorial tribute after his death in 2017.<ref>{{Cite web |last=P |first=M |date=June 8, 2022 |title=Pärnu Linnaorkester ja Eesti kontsert meenutavad armastatud dirigenti Jüri Alpertenit kauni kontserdiga |url=https://muusikaplaneet.ee/2022/06/08/alperten/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928201743/https://muusikaplaneet.ee/2022/06/08/alperten/ |archive-date=September 28, 2023 |access-date=September 28, 2023 |website=MuusikaPlaneet |language=Estonian}}</ref>
-After Alperten's death, the Pärnu City Orchestra was temporarily without a music director, and played with a series of guest conductors, until {{ill|Kaspar Mänd|et}} was appointed to the post in 2019. According to the orchestra's manager, Mänd earned the job on the strength of his artistic vision and personality.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 1, 2019 |title=Pärnu Linnaorkestri uus peadirigent on Kaspar Mänd |url=https://www.ajakirimuusika.ee/single-post/2019/02/01/p%C3%A4rnu-linnaorkestri-uus-peadirigent-on-kaspar-m%C3%A4nd |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928211933/https://www.ajakirimuusika.ee/single-post/2019/02/01/p%C3%A4rnu-linnaorkestri-uus-peadirigent-on-kaspar-m%C3%A4nd |archive-date=September 28, 2023 |access-date=September 28, 2023 |website=Muusikka |language=Estonian}}</ref>
-In 2012, the orchestra produced its first CD, ''6 Seasons+''.<ref name="EMIC" /> On February 11 and 12, 2023, it commemorated the 80th birthday of [[Gavin Bryars]] with programs devoted to his music, which included three Estonian premieres. The composer attended the concerts, which were conducted by {{ill|Mikk Üleoja|et}}.<ref>{{Cite web |date=February 12, 2023 |title=Kontserdisaalis: Gavin Bryars 80 koos Eesti Rahvusmeeskooriga |url=https://klassikaraadio.err.ee/1608867695/tana-kontserdisaalis-gavin-bryars-80-eesti-rahvusmeeskoor |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928205217/https://klassikaraadio.err.ee/1608867695/tana-kontserdisaalis-gavin-bryars-80-eesti-rahvusmeeskoor |archive-date=September 28, 2023 |access-date=September 28, 2023 |website=[[Eesti Televisioon|Klassikaraadio]] |language=Estonian}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |date=January 16, 2023 |title=Happy 80th Birthday to Gavin Bryars |url=https://www.schott-music.com/en/blog/happy-80th-birthday-to-gavin-bryars/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230928205720/https://www.schott-music.com/en/blog/happy-80th-birthday-to-gavin-bryars/ |archive-date=September 28, 2023 |access-date=September 28, 2023 |website=[[Schott Music]]}}</ref>
