National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba
Founded in 1959 ,
the National Symphony Orchestra of Cuba (NSOC) gave its first concert
under the direction of Enrique González Mántici in the Teatro
Auditorium Amadeo Roldán, which remains the orchestra's permanent
concert hall in Havana's Vedado district. Enrique Pérez Mesa is the
orchestra's music director.
Since its
creation, the NSOC has played an important role in broadening the
awareness of Cuban and Latin American music, in addition to
developing a vast symphonic and chamber repertoire that ranges from
baroque to contemporary. It has given over 3,000 concerts nationally
and abroad, including Russia, Poland, Yugoslavia, Mexico, Nicaragua,
Spain, Peru, Argentina, Martinique and Guadalupe. Recent performances
on the international scene include performing at the Seventh Festival
of World Symphony Orchestras in Moscow in June 2012 as well as its
17-city tour in the United States in fall 2012. Concert offerings
have included regular season concerts, symphonic choral programs,
educational concert series, periodic national tours, concerts with
featured vocalists, ballet performances, and special gala concerts.
Over the years
NSOC has been conducted by more than 100 conductors of national and
international fame, including Claudio Abbado, Manuel Duchesne Cuzán,
Elena Herrera, Guido López Gavilán, Luis Herrera de la Fuente, Luis
de Pablo, Enrique González Mántici, Camargo Guarnieri, Yoshikazu
Fukumura, Michel Legrand, Georges Martin, Gonzalo Romeu, Hans Werner
Henze and Carmine Coppola. Among the numerous soloists featured with
the NSOC are Frank Fernández, Jorge Luis Prats, José Carreras,
Joaquín Clech, Victoria de los Angeles, Víctor Pellegrini, Iván
Petruzziello, Aldo Rodríguez, Víctor Rodríguez, Mstislav
Rostropovich, Alina Sánchez, Miguel Villafruela and Roger Woodward.
