SEASON XIII. COURSE 23/24

JOINT SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA UNIVERSITY OF SEVILLE- CSM MANUEL CASTILLO

If there is a symphony orchestra in the city of Seville that stands out for its solid academic and artistic trajectory, for the youth of its members in continuous training and renewal, and with the development of a varied and consolidated concert season that unfolds through a wide range of musical styles and genres, the image of our OSC automatically emerges in our imagination, an orchestra committed to the current times, dedicated to the city and for the city, with an enthusiastic vocation since it was founded in 2011 by the University of Seville and CSM Manuel Castillo.

The OSC will perform throughout its 13th season in the different formats it has used in recent seasons, that is, mainly in traditional symphonic and chamber music formations, but also giving prominence in some of its performances to the wind and percussion sections.

The University of Seville's venues will once again take center stage, including the auditorium of the School of Engineering on the Cartuja Campus and the auditorium of the School of Architecture on the Reina Mercedes Campus. In addition to these, the city will also host performances at the Manuel García Hall of the Teatro de la Maestranza, the courtyard of the Manuel Castillo Conservatory of Music, and, new for the Seville Symphony Orchestra (OSC), the Teatro Central on Isla de la Cartuja and the auditorium of the City of Knowledge in Dos Hermanas, thus expanding the orchestra's reach beyond the city of Seville itself.

The repertoire that the orchestra will tackle follows the line that it has been developing since its founding, with a program that, in addition to comprising a classical repertoire known to the general public, will also reveal its commitment to the most current music in the repertoire, with the interpretation of works by 20th-century composers such as Gerschwin, Ligeti, whose centenary of birth is being celebrated.

With a total of eight events, this 13th OSC Concert Season begins and ends at its usual venue, the ETS of Engineering located on the Cartuja Campus, with our orchestra this year starring in the traditional Closing Concert of the 2023/24 Academic Year of the University of Seville on a day as important for music in Europe as June 21, Music Day.
