echo is a new ensemble of young professional singers. Since launching in early 2017, the group intends to explore the full range of what ensemble singing means - working both with and without a conductor, including improvisation in each concert and performing music both inside and outside of the Western classical canon. The group came together through Genesis Sixteen, the prestigious young artists’ scheme run by Harry Christophers and The Sixteen.
Following highly acclaimed launch concerts in London and Birmingham, echo headlined the Sounds Sublime Festival in July 2017, and made their St John Smith Square debut the same month, in collaboration with the London Philharmonic Orchestra and Magnus Lindberg. echo were one of the inaugural Chiltern Arts Festival Take Note young artists for 2018, are performing at the Ryedale Festival in July and will be working again with the LPO at Queen Elizabeth Hall later this year.
“Impeccable intonation, balance, charm and perfect diction... an exceptional group”
