Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria

The Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria (OFGC), based in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, Spain, stands as a beacon of classical and operatic music in the Canary Islands. Founded in 1980, the orchestra has since played a pivotal role in enriching the cultural landscape of both the Canary Islands and Spain at large. Under the baton of a series of esteemed conductors, including its current principal conductor, Karel Mark Chichon, the OFGC has developed a sound that is at once expansive and precise, known for its passionate interpretations of a broad repertoire that spans from the classical to the contemporary.

Their recent recordings, including a diverse array of works from Saint-Saëns' "Oratorio de Noël, Op. 12: No. 4, Domine, ego credidi" to the vibrant "Lara: Granada (Arr. Chichon)," showcase the OFGC's adaptability and expansive musical range. The orchestra's dedication to not just maintaining but also refreshing the classical music tradition is evident in its vibrant live performances and thoughtful studio recordings. Their work with operatic arias and symphonic adaptations further cements the Orquesta Filarmónica de Gran Canaria's status as a versatile and dynamic force in the world of classical music. Through collaborations with noted soloists and conductors to bring both beloved classics and hidden gems to life, the OFGC continues to captivate audiences and ensure the ongoing vibrancy of the classical music tradition.
