The orchestra was founded in 1984 by the regional government of Madrid with the aim of promoting and supporting classical music in the region. The orchestra's first conductor was José Ramón Encinar, who led the ensemble until 2002. During his tenure, the orchestra established itself as one of the leading classical music ensembles in Spain, performing regularly in Madrid and throughout the country. In 1990, the orchestra made its international debut with a tour of Germany, Austria, and Switzerland. In 2002, the orchestra appointed its second conductor, Víctor Pablo Pérez. Under his leadership, the orchestra continued to grow and expand its repertoire, performing works by both classical and contemporary composers. Pérez also established a strong relationship with the Teatro Real in Madrid, where the orchestra regularly performs operas and other large-scale productions. One of the highlights of the orchestra's history was its performance at the 2004 Summer Olympics in Athens, Greece. The orchestra was invited to perform at the closing ceremony, where it played a selection of Spanish and international music to a global audience of millions. The orchestra has also been recognized for its artistic excellence with numerous awards and accolades. In 2006, the orchestra was awarded the National Music Prize by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, in recognition of its contribution to the cultural life of Spain. The orchestra has also been awarded the Gold Medal for Fine Arts by the Spanish government, and has received numerous awards from regional and local governments in Spain. In addition to its regular performances in Madrid and throughout Spain, the orchestra has also toured extensively internationally. The orchestra has performed in major concert halls and festivals throughout Europe, Asia, and the Americas, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and the Carnegie Hall in New York. The orchestra's repertoire is diverse and includes works by classical composers such as Mozart, Beethoven, and Brahms, as well as contemporary composers such as Arvo Pärt and John Adams. The orchestra has also collaborated with a wide range of soloists and conductors, including Plácido Domingo, Yo-Yo Ma, and Zubin Mehta. In recent years, the orchestra has continued to innovate and expand its reach, with initiatives such as its "Concerts for Babies" series, which aims to introduce classical music to young children and their families.
