The Region of Murcia Youth Orchestra is a training project targeting instrumentalists under the age of 25, organized and maintained by the Region of Murcia Culture Council. Since it was established in 1981, hundreds of youths have passed through it, many of whom today have posts in the main Spanish conservatories and orchestras and are completing or have completed their studies at renowned centers in Europe and the United States.
It has carried out tours throughout Spain, performing at the most prestigious venues in the country, just as it has done around Europe (Belgium, Germany, Italy, Austria, France) and China. It has made recordings for the Bayerischer Rundfunk, for RNE-2, 7TV Región de Murcia and starred in the documentary film “Primer Acorde” (First Chord), winner of the 1993 Goya Award. In October 2005, it had the honor of offering the first symphony concert organized at the headquarters of the European Parliament in Strasbourg. In 2008, the orchestra went on a successful tour of concerts in the cities of Vienna and Bratislava.
Its repertoire includes works especially written for it by Antón Roch and Manuel Seco and has carried out premieres by Francisco Casanovas, Ignacio Yepes, Fabrizio Castania and Miguel Franco. It has performed with guest conductors such as Eduardo Cifre, Ignacio Yepes, José Miguel Rodilla, Eric Feldbusch, Manuel Valdivieso, Lin Tao, Salvador Brotons, Robin Fountain and Laszlo Heltay, among others. Since its creation, it has been led by maestros Benito Lauret, Jaime Belda and César Álvarez. Since October 2006, it has been headed by young Murcia-born conductor Virginia Martínez.
