The Cuenca Symphony Has Eight September Presentations on the Calendar

The Orquesta Sinfonica de Cuenca (OSC) has published its September 2026 concert agenda. The program includes eight presentations across traditional venues, community spaces, and the orchestra's digital platform.

Here are the dates and locations published by the orchestra:

• Thursday, September 3, at 8:00 p.m.: The closing concert of the Conducting Seminar at Teatro Sucre, led by titular director Andrea Vela. Admission is free.
• Thursday, September 10, at 10:30 a.m.: Circorquesta, with Circo Orquesta joining the OSC at Teatro Casa de la Cultura, again under Andrea Vela.

• Tuesday, September 15, at 2:00 p.m.: The OSC launches its Sala Digital de Conciertos on YouTube. The opening transmission includes Idyll by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Vaughan Williams's Tuba Concerto, with guest director Norman Gamboa and guest soloist Scot Roeder.
• Friday, September 18, at 8:00 p.m.: The III Concierto de la II Temporada 2026 at Teatro Pumapungo, with guest director Gerardo Estrada and guest soloist Juan Rodes. Admission is free.
• Wednesday, September 23, at 3:00 p.m.: A chamber concert in the lobby of the Museo Pumapungo, coordinated by Xavier Mora and Paola Zambrano. Admission is free.

A useful September calendar

Several of the listed concerts are free, and the schedule moves between downtown cultural venues, nearby cantons, and an online presentation. The source does not provide a single ticketing URL or say whether the coordinated-admission events require prior registration, so residents should confirm those details before traveling.

The YouTube launch is also a notable change in format. It gives residents another way to follow the orchestra without needing to attend a physical venue, while the Teatro Sucre, Teatro Pumapungo, Museo Pumapungo, and Iglesia de La Merced dates keep the month anchored in familiar Cuenca spaces.
