These include the Trans-Siberian Art Festival, the international project "Russian Seasons," the International Classical Music Festival "Cantata," and the International Music Festival ArsLonga. The orchestra also participated in Montserrat Caballé's final concert tour, and in 2019, it debuted at the Berlin Philharmonic.
The current season has been a busy one for the Moscow State Symphony Orchestra.

During the season, the orchestra toured Kuwait, Belarus, and several Russian cities, including St. Petersburg, Sochi, Samara, Voronezh, Lipetsk, and Svetlogorsk.
