After a seven-year absence, the Orquesta Sinfónica de Minería (OSM) is set to grace the stage of the Palacio de Bellas Artes once again. The renowned orchestra announced its Summer 2026 Season, which will feature three distinct concerts in the venue's Main Hall.
The performances are scheduled for July 12, and August 2 and 23. The season promises a stellar lineup of soloists, including violinist Augustin Hadelich, pianists Lilya Zilberstein and Angel Stanislav Wang, and soprano Anabel de la Mora. Zilberstein will perform Brahms' Piano Concerto No. 1, while Hadelich and De la Mora will present Beethoven's Violin Concerto and Mahler's Symphony No. 4.
The season will be absolutely sensational, memorable and different. We will present a program of enormous artistic richness that combines great works with less-known proposals, world premieres and premieres in Mexico. We will also perform fundamental pieces of concert music.
A significant highlight of the season will be the world premiere of "Trajín," a new work commissioned by the Sinfónica de Minería from Mexican-Canadian composer Alejandra Odgers. Pianist Angel Stanislav Wang will also perform pieces by Stravinsky and Rachmaninoff, further enriching the program.
Artistic director Carlos Miguel Prieto described the upcoming season as "absolutely sensational, memorable and different," emphasizing its artistic richness, which will blend well-known masterpieces with less-familiar works and world premieres. The Secretary of Culture, Claudia Curiel de Icaza, recognized the OSM's significant contributions to Mexican music and audience development.
From the Ministry of Culture, we recognize the trajectory and contribution of one of the most important symphonic groups in Mexico, whose work has contributed to the formation of audiences and the dissemination of concert music.
