El Salvador Symphony Orchestra


El Salvador Symphony Orchestra is the national symphony orchestra of El Salvador. Founded in 1922, by Paul Müller, it is one of Central America's oldest orchestras. Originally formed as the Banda de los Supremos Poderes, it was renamed the Orquesta Sinfónica del Ejército, before taking its current name. Esteban Servellón and Humberto Pacas have served as its conductors. The OSES was preceded by two earlier classical music groups, the Philharmonic Society of El Salvador and the National Orchestral Society. OSES is funded by government and private sources.
