Naissus Youth Philharmony Orchestra

Serbia

The Philharmony commenced working on 01.11.2010 at the city hall, with utmost understanding and support of the Mayor of the City of Nish, Mr. Milos Simonovic, ho is also the Honorary Chairman of the Philharmony. The Youth Philharmony had their first performance during the traditional New Year‘s Viennese Waltz Concert on 14.01.2011, an event which Maestro Andric has been organizing for 14 years. During that very first performance it was obvious that these young people had no stage fright and that they were facing bright future in the world of music. This opinion was expressed by everyone in the audience at the concert hall, and by all the members of the Vidin Philharmony, who also performed that night. The Philharmony consists of young people aged 13-26 - pupils and students of various levels of music school as well as graduated students. The Philharmony held their first concert on the summer stage in Nish on the 7th of .July in front of 2500 visitors. The Youth Philharmony „Naissus“, as the sole representative of Serbia and the Balkan countries, performed at the XIII Youth Philharmony Festival in Florence, receiving standing ovations for their subtle and profound performance which had not been heard recently according to the organizers. The following perfomance was on 12th of July in Pietrosanta, in the southwest of Italy, and after returning home, on Mediana Fest in Nish, on 22nd of July. After a break, the Philharmony resumed working on 10th of September and celebrated their first anniversary with an international appearance in Sophia (Bulgaria), on 5th of November and soon after that with a concert in Leskovac (Serbia).
