Biography
The Community of Madrid Orchestra (Spanish: Orquesta de la Comunidad de Madrid), founded in 1987, is a symphony orchestra in Madrid, Spain. It is the resident orchestra at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid and performs its concert programs at the Auditorio Nacional de Música.
The current principal conductor is José Ramón Encinar and the first concertmaster is Víctor Arriola.
Founded in 1987, the Community of Madrid Orchestra is the official orchestra of the Community of Madrid. The activity of the Orchestra changed radically in 1998, when it became the tenured orchestra of the Teatro de la Zarzuela and alternated its appearances between the pit and the stage.
