Conductor Riccardo M Sahiti, Rome himself from the former Yugoslavia, founded the orchestra in 2002. Under his direction, professional musicians from Switzerland, Austria, Belgium, the Netherlands, Israel, Italy and the Czech Republic grow with each project Yugoslavia, Poland, France, Spain, Hungary, Romania and Germany together to form a spirited orchestra that sees itself as a European ambassador: For him, music is an international language that transcends all national borders.
