Madrid Chamber Orchestra is a classical music ensemble based in Madrid, Spain. The orchestra was founded in 1979 by the Spanish conductor and composer José Luis Temes. The ensemble has since become one of the most renowned chamber orchestras in Spain, known for its high-quality performances and innovative programming. The Madrid Chamber Orchestra is made up of around 30 musicians, including string players, wind players, and percussionists. The ensemble is known for its versatility, performing a wide range of repertoire from the Baroque era to contemporary music. The orchestra has collaborated with many renowned soloists and conductors, including pianist Joaquín Achúcarro, cellist Asier Polo, and conductor Antoni Ros-Marbà. One of the highlights of the Madrid Chamber Orchestra's career was its performance at the 1982 World's Fair in Knoxville, Tennessee. The orchestra was invited to represent Spain at the fair, and performed a series of concerts that were highly acclaimed by both audiences and critics. The ensemble's performance of Manuel de Falla's "El Amor Brujo" was particularly well-received, and helped to establish the orchestra's reputation as one of the leading chamber ensembles in Spain. In addition to its performances in Spain, the Madrid Chamber Orchestra has also toured extensively throughout Europe and the Americas. The ensemble has performed at many prestigious venues, including the Berlin Philharmonic, the Royal Albert Hall in London, and Carnegie Hall in New York City. The orchestra has also recorded numerous albums, including works by Mozart, Haydn, and Beethoven. Over the years, the Madrid Chamber Orchestra has received many awards and accolades for its performances and recordings. In 1991, the ensemble was awarded the National Music Prize by the Spanish Ministry of Culture, in recognition of its contributions to the country's cultural heritage. The orchestra has also been awarded the Gold Medal for Fine Arts by the Spanish government, and has been named an "Ambassador of Spanish Culture" by the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Despite its many achievements, the Madrid Chamber Orchestra has faced some challenges over the years. In 2013, the ensemble was forced to cancel several concerts due to financial difficulties. However, the orchestra has since rebounded, and continues to perform regularly both in Spain and abroad. Today, the Madrid Chamber Orchestra remains one of the most respected and innovative chamber ensembles in Spain. The ensemble's commitment to excellence and its dedication to promoting Spanish music and culture have made it a beloved institution among classical music lovers around the world.
