About Us

EAChO specialises in chamber orchestra repertoire, which means that we play lots of Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven, Schubert, Mendelssohn, and Brahms, as well as some virtuosic twentieth-century repertoire by the likes of Bartók, Britten, Copeland, Prokofiev, Schoenberg, Shostakovich, and Stravinsky.

 

We also work regularly with some of the region’s leading choirs. Most programmes contain a mixture of the familiar and the less well-known.

​

Many of our players make a living from music, and most of those do some teaching, so education is close to our hearts.

 

We offer low-price tickets to under 18s and are always looking for ways to inspire the next generation of players and listeners.
