The oldest orchestra in the European (classical) musical tradition is the Royal Danish Orchestra - known as "Det Kongelige Kapel" or "The Royal Chapel" in Danish - founded in 1448 by king Christian I and continuing to the present day. The orchestra in 1448 would have been very different from the orchestra that bears the same name today: at that time it would have been comprised mostly of singers, trumpets and drummers for ceremonial music. Today it resembles a modern symphony orchestra, with 114 full-time musicians, and performs with the Royal Danish Opera and the Royal Danish Ballet.
