Classical
Jalisco Philharmonic Orchestra
In 1915 a group of Jalisco musicians began performing chamber and symphonic music to the
public in Guadalajara. This was the starting point of what is now known as the Jalisco
Philharmonic Orchestra. It currently has a wide repertoire and gives more than 60
performances per year, including performances accompanying opera, ballet and internationally
renowned soloists. In addition, the orchestra holds a program of educational concerts
in which children actively participate.
