History

The orchestra was established in February 1965, with the purpose of serving both Radio Nacional de España and Televisión Española, as well as the Festivales de España. Its first concert occurred on 27 May 1965, conducted by Igor Markevich, at the Teatro de la Zarzuela in Madrid. The orchestra's first concert in Barcelona took place on 8 June 1965. At the beginning of the orchestra's history, Antoni Ros-Marbà and Enrique García Asensio served as co-principal conductors of the orchestra, from 1965 to 1967. Ros-Marbà stood down from his post in 1967. In 1968, Odón Alonso subsequently became co-principal conductor alongside Enrique García Asensio. Both conductors remained in the posts until 1984.

The orchestra's current principal conductor is Christoph König, as of the 2023–2024 season.^[3] In March 2024, the orchestra announced the appointment of Thomas Dausgaard as its next principal guest conductor, effective with the 2024–2025 season.^[4]
