Abstract: The purpose of this paper is to present the specific aspects that characterize classic professional orchestras (symphony, chamber music, radio and opera orchestras) as performing art organizations, the sound organism and the organization per se. In a society of rapid changes, it is intruguing to find out how one of the oldest art performing organizations, like the classical professional orchestra, is managed in the contemporary world, which are the innovative management methods that ensure the classical orchestra’s succes, what are the elements that have an influence upon the performance of the orchestra, or upon the level of satisfaction of the multiple stakeholders.As part of an extended research, this empirical paper reprezents the first part of our reseach and it is based upon qualitative research methods, interviews and observation of the existing situation in German orchestras.Germany offers an impressive variety of examples, since the country holds the largest number of classical professional orchestras, namely 131 out of 560 worldwide. Consequently, the emphasism is upon german orchestras (Kulturochester), where the value of cultural heritage and the responsibility vis-à-vis the cultural musical heritage acquired in hundreds of years of musical creation play a very important role.We will include the type of symphony orchestras, radio, opera and chamber music orchestras, and we will exclude universities’ orchestras, project orchestras and amateurs’ orchestras. We will obtain our data through archival access, observation, interview and later in the study, throughout the survey research method. At first, we analyzed and investigated twoorchestras: one chamber and one symphony orchestra. The second part will contain the analysis of a radio and an opera (theater) orchestra. Does the volatile environment generate innovations in the systems of management, informational, recruiting, promotion and reward changes, and in its functions of planning, organizing, leading and controlling? What strategies and best management practices are used by orchestras’ managers to maximize the satisfaction of multiple stakeholders
