The RTVE Chamber Orchestra was founded in order to give selected members of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra (also known as the Spanish Radio and Television Symphony Orchestra) the opportunity to prove themselves as first-rate chamber musicians. The ensemble performs regularly at major Spanish music festivals in cities including Cuenca, Granada, Úbeda, Soria and Santander. In Ljubljana they will be conducted by Marc Moncusí, who trained at the Real Conservatorio Superior de Música de Madrid and Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh before going on to study with Jesús López Cobos in Cincinnati and Daniel Barenboim in Berlin. The soloists will be the Armenian-born pianist Dmitry Ishkhanov, who in 2016 became the youngest finalist in the history of the Eurovision Young Musicians competition, held that year in Cologne, and the Madrid- and Paris-trained Spanish trumpeter Borja Antón, principal trumpet of the RTVE Symphony Orchestra. Koncert v Slovenski filharmoniji bodo otvorili Pogledi na morje španskega skladatelja Eduarda Toldre, ki je pomembno prispeval h katalonski kulturi. Dmitrij Šostakovič je svoj prvi klavirski koncert pravzaprav zasnoval kot dvojni koncert za klavir in trobento, medtem ko je njegova temačna Komorna simfonija, ki jo je iz »avtobiografskega« Godalnega kvarteta št. 8 priredil dirigent Rudolf Baršaj, nastala v času, ko je bil skladatelj po izkušnjah s Stalinom že fizično in psihično zlomljen. Zadnje delo na sporedu bo skladba romunskega vsestranskega glasbenika in ustanovitelja zasedbe Traffic Strings Luciana Moraruja z naslovom Romunski capriccio.
