The 21st Century Symphony Orchestra is a comprehensive project devoted to developing a strong artistic and educational activity centered on the great symphonic repertoire. Since its beginnings, the orchestra has cultivated a distinctive approach that constitutes one of its defining characteristics: the pursuit of a deep understanding of the repertoire, placing at the heart of its work the lived experience of music and the comprehension of each composer’s musical language.
Throughout its trajectory, the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra has presented programs dedicated to Beethoven, Brahms, Schumann, Schubert, Bruckner, and Shostakovich, among others, consolidating a space of high artistic standards and complete dedication to every note.
The orchestra brings together musicians from different generations and backgrounds in intensive working sessions that combine musical rigor, orchestral experience, and stylistic depth.
Its flexible structure allows each production to be adapted to the specific demands of the repertoire while encouraging the integration of young performers alongside highly experienced musicians.
Alongside its concert activity, the organization promotes international courses in orchestra, chamber music, and musical interpretation, conceived as spaces for advanced training and artistic exchange, as well as orchestral conducting courses.
Over the years, the 21st Century Symphony Orchestra has collaborated with distinguished national and international soloists and has offered numerous young musicians the opportunity to perform major symphonic works in an environment defined by excellence, commitment, and a deep love for music.
The musical direction of the project is led by Jordi Mora.
