More Details

EChO is a welcoming and inclusive string ensemble which has fun rehearsing and performing together, as well as offering an innovative program of workshops for our members.

Our repertoire is mostly drawn from the chamber music of the baroque and classical eras, but is ever expanding to include a wide variety of other styles. We regularly invite guest soloists and orchestral players, enabling further expansion of our repertory.
