Nikodimos and his Orchestra explore unorthodox approaches to orchestral music. They activate unconventional spaces with deep and spiritually charged compositions. This is an accomplished ensemble, presenting a soundscape of moments of improvisation underwritten by a bespoke score. The orchestra features strings, brass, percussion, woodwind, harp and voice conducted by and featuring the virtuosic Nikodimos, a compelling woodwind player with a technicoloured essence. This show resonates with audiences of many demographics, it is classical in form but contemporary in presentation. It is accessible and playful yet displays a complex artistry.
