Yes it does: The New Century Chamber Orchestra is generally Conductorless, although Wiki tells us that Sir Simon Rattle conducted their 10th Anniversary Celebration concert in June 2002

Ah yes wikipedia does tell us most things!

Tyding up Mercia's good work, apparently the Prague Chamber Orchestra is possibly the longest running conductorless Orchestra.

If it can be believed.

Tyding up Mercia's good work, apparently the Prague Chamber Orchestra is the longest running/oldest conductorless Orchestra.

Thanks, Hedgehog. That completes the hat trick! I don't think we need coleslaw this time.

D connecting

posthumously-premiered Janacek, a 2013 Weinberg premiere, and Prokofiev cajoled by Coates

[amateur51]

D = Dostoevsky

Prokofiev wrote The Gambler

Jansacek wrote From The House of the Dead

Weinberg wrote The Idiot

all based on stories of those names by Dostoevsky

[Nick Armstrong]

Conductorless.

Reading back and at last understanding the C, I have to say Mr F: it was an absolute bastard of a puzzle!

[mercia]

D = Dostoevsky

Prokofiev wrote The Gambler
Jansacek wrote From The House of the Dead
Weinberg wrote The Idiot
all based on stories of those names by Dostoevsky
