Young soloists (2021)
Six young soloists played and sang self-chosen repertoire with orchestra, conducted by Dominic Seldis, a highly varied program mixing showstoppers and lesser-known gems from several centuries of solistic repertoire. Most soloists presented themselves to the public for the first time on this scale. The orchestra was co-prepared by Ivan Cheng.

Siebold project (2019)
A cooperation between T.O.P. Orchestra and Nanagen String orchestra from Tokyo
n the past years, String Orchestra Nanagen from Tokyo gave concerts in the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam three times. In March 2019, they return, this time for a collaboration with the T.O.P. Orchestra. Their visit will be answerd by a visit from the T.O.P. Orchestra to Tokyo in July of the same year. This establishes a unique artistic collaboration between cultures geographically far apart, a great learning opportunity for orchestra members, conductor, soloists and the two orchestras’ boards. The project was led by conductor Kent Moussault.

Mozart – Sinfonia concertante for violin, viola and orchestra;
Mozart – Symphony no. 29;
Grieg – Holberg suite;
