Fodor's Expert Review Orquesta Filarmónica de Jalisco

Though it's among Mexico's most poorly paid orchestras, the state-funded philharmonic manages remarkably good performances (usually pieces by Mexican composers mixed with standard orchestral fare). When in season (it varies), the OFJ performs Sunday afternoon and Wednesday and Friday evening at Teatro Degollado. On the facing plaza, they hold an annual outdoor performance that helps kick off September's Mariachi Festival.
