Bilbao Orkestra Sinfonikoa (BOS) is a symphony orchestra based in Bilbao, Spain. Their first concert was on May 8, 1922 at the Arriaga Theatre, under the direction of maestro Armand Marsick.

The Sinfonikoa was invited to perform at Mariinski Theatre in Saint Petersburg, Russia for the 300th Anniversary of the city.

The Sinfonikoa performs regularly at the National Auditorium in Madrid and the Musical Fortnight in Donostia, in addition to engagements at the Santander International Festival, Paris Festival, and the Religious Music Festival in Cuenca.

In 1998 it represented the Basque Country at the World Expo in Lisbon, and in 1999 it took part in the inauguration of Palacio Euskalduna in Bilbao.

Many world-famous conductors and soloists have shared the stage with the BOS, and the Sinfonikoa has released several recordings of classical standards, the works of Arriaga as well as a collection of Basque music.
