Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá

The Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá (Bogotá Philharmonic Orchestra) is Colombia’s flagship symphony orchestra, founded in 1967 as part of Bogotá’s cultural development initiatives. With over five decades of history, this vibrant ensemble isn’t just about classical masterpieces—they’re all about breaking boundaries. Known for lively collaborations, they’ve teamed up with genres from salsa to cumbia, sharing stages with acts like La-33 and Puerto Candelaria in electrifying live performances (check out their *Filarmónico Live* series!). Their work celebrates Colombian identity, blending orchestral grandeur with local rhythms, as seen in projects like *Carmiña Gallo Canta a Colombia*, where traditional vocals meet sweeping arrangements. They also champion social themes, like *Marcha de Memoria*, reflecting their connection to community storytelling. Based at the Teatro Mayor Julio Mario Santo Domingo, the orchestra remains a dynamic force in Latin America’s music scene, proving that classical music can be both timeless and wildly inventive.
