At a time when the "Golden Jubilee" (50 years) of the Madeira Classical Orchestra Association AOCM] has been completed, it seemed important to us to mark this milestone of longevity through a historical/sociological incursion into its foundation and organisational evolution. In this brief note, our main concern is to analyse the organisational impact, but also the behaviour and functioning of those who have been part of the Association's social bodies; as well as to detect in the AOCM, as sometimes in other social organisations, characteristics for which conditions of adaptation and systemic evolution have manifested themselves throughout its history.
