Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo live in São Paulo

Experience Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo live on October 9th

Orquestra Sinfônica do Estado de São Paulo (OSESP) is recognized as one of Brazil’s leading symphony orchestras, performing a broad repertoire encompassing standard orchestral works from the Baroque period through contemporary compositions, with a particular emphasis on Brazilian composers and 20th/21st-century music. The orchestra is known for its robust string section and frequent collaborations with internationally renowned soloists.

The concert on October 9, 2026 will be held at Sala São Paulo, a concert hall widely considered to be one of the acoustically superior venues in the world. Originally built in 1911 as the Mercado Municipal (Municipal Market) of São Paulo, the structure underwent extensive renovation between 1999 and 2002 specifically to transform it into a performance space. The architectural design retains elements of its original market hall aesthetic, notably its stained-glass windows and steel structure.

A key feature contributing to its exceptional acoustics is the “shoe box” shape of the hall and the use of floating floors to isolate it from external vibrations.
