History

The orchestra was founded in 2003 following the dissolution of the Colombia Symphony Orchestra (Orquesta Sinfónica de Colombia) in December 2002. The Colombia Symphony Orchestra had been in operation since 1952 under the auspices of the government of Colombia and was dissolved as part of an extensive plan of state privatization. The Colombian National Symphony Orchestra is part of the 'National Association of Symphonic Music' (Asociación Nacional de Música Sinfónica), a non-profit organization that receives extensive support from the Colombian government to maintain the orchestra and to provide financial support to the other professional symphony orchestras in the country.

From 2003 to 2007, the orchestra's artistic direction was under the management of three music directors: Luis Biava (conductor-in-residence of the Philadelphia Orchestra until 2004), Alejandro Posada (then-music director of the Symphonic Orchestra of Castile and León (Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León)), and Eduardo Carrizosa (then the assistant conductor of the Bogota Philharmonic (Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá)). In 2007, the orchestra opened a search process for a single principal conductor and artistic director. This search led to the appointment of Baldur Brönnimann as principal conductor and artistic director, who held the post from 2008 to 2012. In 2016, Olivier Grangean became principal conductor and artistic director of the orchestra.

La Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Colombia nació en el año 2003 tras la liquidación de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Colombia en diciembre de 2002. La Orquesta Sinfónica de Colombia operaba desde 1936 bajo el auspicio del Estado colombiano y fue liquidada dentro de un amplio plan de privatizaciones estatales. La Orquesta Sinfónica Nacional de Colombia es parte de la Asociación Nacional de Música Sinfónica, una entidad sin ánimo de lucro creada por el Ministerio de Cultura de Colombia, del cual recibe amplio apoyo para sostener a la orquesta y para apoyar económicamente a otras orquestas del país. La orquesta funcionó inicialmente con un modelo de dirección artística colegiada en la que participaron tres directores artísticos: Luis Biava, director residente de la Orquesta de Filadelfia hasta el año 2004; Alejandro Posada, director de la Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León; y Eduardo Carrizosa, quien se desempeñó como director asistente de la Orquesta Filarmónica de Bogotá hasta finales del 2003. A partir de noviembre de 2014 su director titular es el francés Olivier Grangean.
