Founded in 2006 as the resident orchestra of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia in Valencia, Spain, under the auspices of Lorin Maazel, its first principal conductor, the orchestra quickly gained recognition for its rich sound, versatility, and engaging interpretations of both operatic and symphonic repertoire. The OCV's dedication to showcasing a broad spectrum of works, ranging from baroque to contemporary, has not only endeared it to classical music aficionados but also helped in revitalizing the operatic culture in Valencia and beyond.

Over the years, the Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana has worked with a plethora of renowned soloists, conductors, and stage directors, significantly contributing to its growing international reputation. Their discography, inclusive of pivotal works such as "Anima Rara" and comprehensive projects like "Rodrigo: Orchestral Works," alongside their acclaimed interpretations of Verdi and Puccini, highlight the orchestra's commitment to excellence and innovation. With performances that span the operatic treasures of "Turandot" and "Il Trovatore" to the delicate nuance of art song, the OCV continues to set benchmarks in musical interpretation and collaborative artistry, making it one of the most respected and vibrant orchestras in Europe today.
