Orquesta Sinfónica Ciudad De Elche is a classical music ensemble based in the city of Elche, Spain. The orchestra was founded in 2002 by a group of musicians who shared a passion for classical music and a desire to bring it to the people of Elche and the surrounding areas. The founding members of the orchestra included musicians from all over Spain, as well as from other countries such as Italy, France, and Germany.

Over the years, the orchestra has grown in size and reputation, attracting some of the most talented musicians from Spain and beyond. Today, the orchestra is made up of around 70 musicians, including string players, woodwind players, brass players, and percussionists. One of the highlights of the orchestra's early years was its performance of Beethoven's Ninth Symphony in 2005.
