English Chamber Orchestra

The English Chamber Orchestra (ECO) has been performing across the UK and globally for over 60 years, and is the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world. From its beginning, the ECO has worked consistently with the most significant figures in classical music, starting in 1960 with its first patron Benjamin Britten. The ECO celebrates and builds upon its tradition of maintaining the highest international musical standards, nurturing new talent and focusing on the ‘best of British’ music and musicianship. HM King Charles III has been the patron of the ECO since 1977, and the orchestra has performed at royal weddings, birthday celebrations and other events including the first concert ever to be broadcast from Buckingham Palace.

The orchestra has toured the UK and abroad with artists such as Benjamin Britten, Daniel Barenboim, Pinchas Zukerman, Dame Janet Baker, Sir Colin Davis, Plácido Domingo, Jacqueline du Pré, Kiri Te Kanawa, Yehudi Menuhin, Luciano Pavarotti, Murray Perahia, Itzhak Perlman, André Previn, Karl Richter, Mstislav Rostropovich, Sir Georg Solti, Mitsuko Uchida and Maxim Vengerov.
