Orquestra De La Communitat Valenciana

Spanish Symphony Orchestra

The Orquestra de la Comunitat Valenciana (OCV) is a Spanish symphony orchestra based in Valencia, Spain. It was established in 2006 as the resident orchestra of the Palau de les Arts Reina Sofia, an opera house and cultural center that opened the same year. The OCV was founded under the auspices of Lorin Maazel, who served as its first chief conductor. The orchestra has since developed a reputation for its performances of operatic and symphonic repertoire, often collaborating with renowned soloists and conductors. It has contributed to Valencia's cultural scene and has gained recognition both nationally and internationally for its artistic quality. The OCV's involvement in recording projects or specific albums such as "Verdi" or "Revive" is not detailed here, but they have been known to perform and record a wide range of works, including those by Giuseppe Verdi, among other composers.
