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’s
Smith Square debut the same month, in collaboration with the London Philharmonic
Orchestra and Magnus Lindberg. echo were selected as one of the inaugural Chiltern Arts Festival Take Note young artists for 2018, and this summer were an Ensemble in Residence at the Ryedale Festival An ongoing partnership with the LPO resulted in a performance at the Debut Sounds concert in 2019 with James MacMillan at the Queen Elizabeth Hall.

The ensemble has quickly developed a reputation for imaginative programming and
inventive presentation; often creating audience-immersive concert experiences. The
production ‘EXILE’ at the Brunel Tunnel Shaft featured music from four historical
vignettes and was directed by Rebecca Meltzer (Waterperry Opera). More
recently, echo received Arts Council and RVW Trust funding for a response to the work of American artist Polly Apfelbaum which was performed at Ikon Gallery, Birmingham.

Event supported by the Nicholas Boas Charitable Trust
