The orchestra was founded by Li Huanzhi (1919-2000), the former chair of the Chinese Musicians' Association. Its current president is Xi Qiang.
The orchestra has performed throughout China and visited dozens of nations on five continents.
In 1993 it founded Orchestra Asia, together with Ensemble Nipponia of Japan and the South Korean National Orchestra.
