The recently formed ECOS Jalisco Symphony Orchestra (OSEJ) made its debut at the Foro de Arte y Cultura in Guadalajara in late October.
This flagship ensemble, comprising 64 musicians aged 9 to 19 selected from 11 municipalities, represents the pinnacle of the state’s ECOS program (Espacios de Creación, Orientación y Desarrollo Social).

It currently operates a network in approximately 50 community centers (“núcleos”) across Jalisco where the classes are held.
