Originally part of the German Central Organization (Deutche Zentrale), it was known as the "Orchester der Deutche Zentrale." Breaking away from its parent organization in 1937, it was renamed the German Concert Orchestra in 1938. The orchestra performed many concerts as a part of the German-American community throughout the 1930s and 1940s. It affiliated with the Society of Danube Swabians in Cleveland during the 1970s and 1980s, and was based during these years at the Society's Banater Hall. In 1989, the orchestra ceased its affiliation with the Society of Danube Swabians, and once again became a group of the German Central Organization.
