The Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra gave its inaugural concert on February 14, 1991. It was then born as the Ciudad de Málaga Orchestra, a consortium between the Málaga City Council and the Junta de Andalucía, which responded to the conviction that a city like Málaga should have a great symphony orchestra.
At the helm of the Orchestra and its project, six principal conductors have imprinted their own personalities: Octav Calleya, Odón Alonso, Alexander Rahbari, Aldo Ceccato, Edmon Colomer, and Manuel Hernández Silva. Currently, the title and artistic direction is held by maestro José María Moreno. The Junta de Andalucía has awarded him the Andalusian Flag of the Arts 2021.
The Málaga Philharmonic Orchestra (OFM) was given a new rehearsal home in the city in April 2019, inside the old university dining rooms on the El Ejido campus, specifically the assembly hall and the annexed lobby. The room is exclusively used by members of the OFM.
