On this occasion the Chamber Orchestra of Cartagena becomes a symphony with the expansion of the number of instruments.

It will continue with the Violoncello Concerto in C major nº1 by Haydn, which will be played by the Cartagena-born cellist Irene Ortega.
Then Mozart's evening serpent kv 525 will serve as an aperitif to the Clarinet Concerto in La Mayor Kv 622 WAMozart, which will be performed by the Cartagena-born José Luis Inglés soloist.
A little history
The Chamber Orchestra of Cartagena - OCCT owes its genesis to the effort and determination of a group of professors and former students of the Conservatory of Music of Cartagena, who joined their passion for classical music to the desire to satisfy the growing demand of this type of music in our town.
Since its establishment, this group has its headquarters in said conservatory, which lends its facilities disinterestedly, and without whose collaboration the materialization of this project would not have been possible.
After its presentation, on December 5, 2003, this orchestra has been consolidated, increasing the number of concerts each season and obtaining the favor and loyalty of an increasingly large audience.
The OCCT has collaborated with great directors such as Leo Brower, Manuel Hernandez Silva, Jordi Mora, Sherif Mohie Eldin, Leonardo Martinez, Andrés Pérez Bernabé, Pedro Beriso, Gonzalo Berná and Brian Webber (titular director from 2003 to 2011), among others.
He has also worked with prestigious soloists such as Lina Tur, Felipe Rodriguez, Carlo Marchione, Carles Trepat, Ricardo Gallén, Joaquín Clerch, Gabriel Escudero, Miriam Olga Pastor, Paola Requena, or the brothers Emilio and Álvaro Yepes.
Since the year 2013 this orchestra acquires symphonic training to perform an annual concert, called "Extraordinary Concert Between Strings and Metals", these performances, which have taken place in Room A of the "El Batel" Auditorium in Cartagena, have been widely praised by critic and public.
Currently, it is negotiating with the City Council of Cartagena the conversion of the OCCT in the Symphonic Orchestra of Cartagena, with headquarters in the Auditorium "El Batel", which would endow our municipality with a professional symphony orchestra after more than 60 years of absence.
