A concert by The European Union Chamber Orchestra will be the first event at Teatru Manoel in December 2009. By bringing together individual European musicians from different EU member states, EUCO has become a popular international cultural ambassador for the European Union, a harmonious symbol of European co-operation. Following its concerts EUCO receives many re-invitations and this is clear evidence of its success. The Orchestra has performed in 67 countries in major concert halls and in festivals, towns and cities both large and small. Depending on repertoire, it numbers between 16 and 24 musicians.
