☰ CODARTS STRING ORCHESTRA ☰ A glimpse back at a memorable performance during the Codarts Orchestra Festival. An evening of expressive storytelling and exceptional musicianship by the Codarts String Orchestra, led by Gordan Nikolić.

From the shimmering colours of Debussy’s Danse sacrée et danse profane, featuring harp, to the lyrical beauty of Clara Schumann’s Romance No. 2, and the powerful intensity of Shostakovich’s Chamber Symphony in C minor, Op. 110a. Our students captivated the audience with a compelling programme of timeless works.
