We are thrilled to announce the first orchestra joining this year's Musica Orbis, the award winning Orkestra e Fëmijëve dhe të Rinjve "Amadeus" ! 👏👏
The Children and Youth Orchestra “Amadeus” was founded on the initiative of the “Amadeus” Music School, an institution that has been operating since 2002 as the first non-public music school in Kosova. The orchestra’s activity initially began in 2015 with a smaller number of students from this school, and over the years it has developed into one of the most serious youth musical ensembles in the country and the region.
Under the leadership of Director Hana Petrovci and Conductor Vehbi Shosholli, the orchestra was created with the mission of uniting young musical talents age 10-17 years old, promoting artistic education, ensemble performance, and the professional development of young instrumentalists. Initially consisting of students from music schools in Prishtina, the orchestra has continuously expanded to include children and youth from various cities across Kosova and the region, such as Gjilan, Gjakova, Ferizaj (Kosova), Tirana, Durrës (Albania), and Skopje (North Macedonia). This artistic and cultural union has given the orchestra a broader dimension, transforming it into an important platform for cooperation and Albanian cultural representation on the international stage.
Since its official establishment in 2022, the “Amadeus” Orchestra has performed dozens of gala concerts, ceremonial appearances, and participated in prestigious festivals both in Kosova and abroad, supported by state and municipal institutions, embassies, as well as numerous business and cultural organizations.
