Concert de la Loge Olympique

The Concert de la Loge Olympique was a concert company founded in the 1780s by the fermier général Charles Marin de La Haye des Fosses and Count Claude-François-Marie Rigoley. The main conductor was Joseph Bologne de Saint-George.^[1]

The orchestra was considered one of the best in Europe and in particular commissioned Joseph Haydn with the so-called "Paris symphonies" (82 to 87). The company ceased all activity in 1789.
