After almost a decade, the orchestra gained reputation at home and abroad and is enthusiastically forming new programmes. The orchestra has frequently enjoyed accompanying both top-notch artists and young, perspective musicians. In 2021, the orchestra celebrates its 10th anniversary and has in that time played at more than 115 concerts at home and abroad. It has toured to France, Italy, Austria and Switzerland and has provided solistic opportunities to more than 70 young and talented musicians.
