ORTHEMIS Orchestra
At ORTHEMIS Orchestra we are passionate about both classical music and shows in which we mix humour, gestural theatre and music
Imagine a string orchestra - is it made up of solemn professionals in formal dress in a serious, formal setting? At ORTHEMIS Orchestra, we had this vision too, and we decided to give it a slightly... daring twist.
Our goal goes beyond paying attention to the notes on the staff. We want to change the paradigm of the classical concert and make music that conveys emotion, entertains and informs in equal measure.
But how do we do it? Our secret lies in the versatility and human richness of our members. In ORTHEMIS Orchestra, each musician brings his or her own essence and experiences, creating a cultural mosaic that allows us to explore everything from the purest classical music to comedy shows such as Concerto Tempo d'Umore and Desconcerto.
This diversity is reflected not only in our repertoire, but also in the way we approach each performance. We adapt, we transform, and we show that the same group of people can be majestic and serious one moment, and fun and light-hearted the next.
The ORTHEMIS Orchestra is also an active participant in the global cultural dialogue. By touring the world and participating in world-class events and festivals, we extend our reach and absorb influences from different parts of the globe. From Mexico to Hong Kong, Turkey, Portugal and Slovakia, our passion knows no boundaries.
