Right before a performance, they tune their instruments. Usually the concertmaster (1st Chair Violinist) plays A-440, and then a oboist plays the note and the rest of the orchestra tunes to that instrument. The Oboe is used because its sound is unique and can be heard better than the violin tone.
A-440 (concert A) is sometimes varied a couple cents sharp by some conductors, which is their prerogative to do so. Some go as high as A-446, which produces a much brighter sound.

What does the conductor of the orchestra really do?
The conductor's job is to get the orchestra to perform the music at hand to the best of their ability, and in accordance with a certain view of the music that he/she has. In performance they do this with gestures, indicating the desired tempi (speed), dynamics (volume), and phrasing. But before performances, they often make adjustments to the music, work with the orchestra to develop a unique sound, and relay their artistic ideas to the orchestra members (to get them on the same page, so to speak). In fact, it could be said that the majority of a conductor's work occurs before we see them in performance.
