MUSIC WITHOUT RULES | NI&Co

Ni&Co Orchestra

The artists of NICO are young, professional musicians, winners of many international competitions.

It was back in 2006 when the 19-year-old Lithuanian composer Gediminas Gelgotas came up with an idea to bring together string players, who would perform his music and transmit his artistic visions into reality. Now, 16 years later, this embodiment of 'one-artist-vision', called the New Ideas Chamber Orchestra NICO, amazes the audience with their alluring, captivating, and original music performances and brings composer's music to the leading classical and contemporary music venues.
