The Orchestra was founded in 1965 by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government, to commemorate the Tokyo Olympics (1964 Summer Olympics).
Their offices are based at the Tokyo Festival Hall, a concert venue owned by the Tokyo Metropolitan Government. They perform regularly at Tokyo Festival Hall as well as at Suntory Hall. Occasionally, they also perform at the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Space, another venue owned by Tokyo.
Traditionally, the Orchestra performs the works of Gustav Mahler as an important part of their repertoire. Hiroshi Wakasugi, Eliahu Inbal and Gary Bertini have performed all the symphonies of Mahler with the orchestra.
