Concerts in Guatemala by members of the orchestra
The orchestra was invited to play at two well-known venues in Guatemala. The first concert was on 25 June 2009 at the Italian Institute in Guatemala City, and the second in Antigua, on 3 July, at the Centro de Formación de la Cooperación Española. These performances by a string ensemble were the culmination of the students' work since November 2008 with Claudia Caldi and Michele Cantoni. You can see the programme below.
