Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra

The Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra gave its inaugural concert on 14 February 1991. It was born under the name of the- City Orchestra of Málaga, an association between the Málaga Town Council and the Regional Government of Andalusia, and responded to the conviction that a city such as Málaga ought to have a great symphony orchestra of its own. Throughout the years it has maintained the commitment to offer the city quality music along with the best conductors and soloists on the national and international scene. In charge of the Orchestra, and of the project encompassing it, five principal conductors have left their personal mark: Octav Calleya, Odón Alonso, Alexander Rahbari, Aldo Ceccato and Edmon Colomer. The list of guest conductors contains some great names: Jesús López Cobos, Philippe Entremont, Juanjo Mena, Sergiu Comissiona, Rafael Frühbeck de Burgos, Antoni Ros Marbá, Nicholas Milton, Yoav Talmi, to name but a few. Equally, the orchestra has been privileged to receive soloists of great prestige: Alicia de Larrocha, Plácido Domingo, Alfredo Kraus, Joaquín Achúcarro, Pinchas Zukerman, Montserrat Caballé, Ainhoa Arteta, Carlos Álvarez, Stefan Dohr, Hansjörg Schellenberger, Leónidas Kavakos, Nikolaj Znaider, Julian Rachlin, Asier Polo... wikipedia
