According to the Philadelphia Inquirer review,” The youthful vigor of the group created a kind of heat that took the music-making to a higher or deeper place.”

In 2001, a group of some of todays most exciting young string players envisioned the creation of a conductor-less chamber orchestra, based upon democratic principles, whose focus is purely on music making. This organic approach, their passion, and commitment resulted in the creation of ECCO. Its members are soloists, principals in major American orchestras, and marvelous chamber musicians. Translating this diversity of experience and virtuosity into a unified ensemble approach, ECCO combines the strength and power of an orchestral ensemble with the personal, intimate nature of chamber music. Their Town Hall (NYC) debut in February of 2004 and their US debut tour in April 2006 (including the Kennedy Center) confirmed ECCO’s position as one of
today’s most exceptional ensembles whose fresh interpretations of new and old works coupled with passionate and joyous playing earn them standing ovations.
