The
Orquesta Sinfónica Simón Bolívar (
Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra) is a
Venezuelan orchestra. Named after the Venezuelan national hero
Simón Bolívar, it is the apex of the nation's system of
youth orchestras, although by 2011, it was no longer officially a youth orchestra because the average age of the players had risen too high. The country's national youth orchestra is now the Teresa Carreño Youth Orchestra.
