The Orquesta Sinfónica de Tenerife (Tenerife Symphony Orchestra) is a vibrant cultural gem based in Spain’s Canary Islands. Founded in 1935, this ensemble has grown into one of the archipelago’s premier orchestras, known for blending classical masterpieces with contemporary works and regional flavors. They’re regulars at Santa Cruz de Tenerife’s striking Auditorio de Tenerife, a swooping architectural icon designed by Santiago Calatrava, where they bring everything from Mozart operas to film scores (like *Atrapa la bandera*) to life.
Their discography shows off their eclectic tastes—you’ll find them diving into Spanish composers like Roberto Gerhard (they’ve recorded multiple symphonies of his), reviving zarzuela classics like *Doña Francisquita*, and championing Canarian creators through projects like *La Creación Musical en Canarias*. Whether they’re tackling lush Romantic works, 20th-century gems, or soundtracks, the orchestra keeps its programming fresh while rooting itself in the community. With a mix of international collaborations and homegrown pride, they’re a dynamic force in Spain’s classical scene.
