Founded in 1945 by maestro Pedro Gutierrez Lapuente, Orquesta Sinfónica de Málaga is one of the oldest orchestras in Spain. Its main objectives are the dissemination of music and supporting the development of new artistic talents. Coinciding with its 50th anniversary, the Diputación de Málaga decided to provide a committed and enthusiastic support to the Orquesta Sinfónica de Málaga, performing more than 600 concerts throughout the province under its patronage.
The Orquesta Sinfónica de Málaga has given countless concerts throughout its history, featuring renowned soloists such as Gaspar Cassadó, Henryk Szeryng, José Cubiles, Alfredo Kraus, Montserrat Caballé, Ainhoa Arteta, Anna Netrebko, Yusif Eyvazov, and Andrea Bocelli; and conductors such as Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Michael Tilson Thomas, Miquel Ortega, Francisco de Gálvez, José Luis Temes, Marco de Prosperis, Miguel Romea, Carlo Bernini, Marco Boemi, and Eugene Kohn.
Orquesta Sinfónica de Málaga's work has focused primarily on the classical repertoire, although his current artistic offering includes symphonic flamenco with concerts with artists such as Estrella Morente, Vicente Amigo, David Dorantes, and Manolo Sanlúcar; pop with singers such as Laura Pausini and Vanesa Martín; jazz with his occasional collaboration at the Festival de Jazz de Málaga; and film music with his annual participation in the Festival de Cine Fantástico de Málaga (FANCINE) and the Festival Internacional de Música de Cine Movie Score Málaga (MOSMA).
Recent projects include his participation in the Starlite Festival and Tío Pepe Festival as principal symphony orchestra; the closing concert of the 5th Bienal de Arte Flamenco de Málaga with the world premiere of the work Mairena Clásico; the Siempre Así Sinfónico, Raphael Sinphónico, and Raphael RESinphónico tours; participation in the Amazon Prime Video program Escena en Blanco y Negro (Black and White Scene), and the Gala of the 35th edition of the Premios Goya. |
