Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco, a Mexican orchestra based in Guadalajara, was founded by José Rolón. Initially known as Orquesta Sinfónica de Guadalajara, the ensemble began performing symphonic and chamber music under private concert society auspices. The orchestra transitioned to the name Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco in 1988, aiming to promote symphonic music across Jalisco. Notable directors include Leslie Hodge, Eduardo Mata, and Alondra de la Parra. In 2015, the OFJ celebrated its centenary with an international tour, including performances at the Busan Maru International Music Festival. The orchestra has collaborated with prominent figures such as Plácido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti.
