Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo

The Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo, known as Osesp, gave its first concert in 1954 in the city of São Paulo. The institution encompasses the orchestra, a professional choir, chamber ensembles, a sheet music publisher, and educational activities. In 1997, it underwent a restructuring tied to the creation of Sala São Paulo, during which John Neschling took over as artistic director and Roberto Minczuk served as assistant conductor.
