It is important to note that the work “Water Music,” composed by Georg Friedrich Händel, was premiered on July 17, 1717, at the request of King George I to be performed on the River Thames. The concert was offered on a barge that sailed near the king’s vessel, and it is said that the king was so pleased that the piece had to be performed three times during the journey.

The orchestra’s music covers works from all periods, from the Renaissance to contemporary 21st-century compositions.
