The English Chamber Orchestra [ECO] is the most recorded chamber orchestra in the world, boasting a discography containing nearly 900 recordings of over 1,500 works by more than 400 composers. Along with these recordings of classical repertoire and its equally busy international touring schedule, the orchestra has
recorded many successful film soundtracks including Dario Marianelli’s prize-winning scores for Atonement and Pride and Prejudice.
With Benjamin Britten as the orchestra’s first Patron, the ECO has enjoyed longstanding relationships with some of the world’s leading conductors and recitalists including Pinchas Zukerman, Murray Perahia, Mitsuko Uchida and Daniel Barenboim. For this concert we are delighted to welcome back the celebrated South American maestro José Serebrier ‘one of the most eminent conductors of our time’ (Fonoforum Germany). Joining him in this all-Tchaikovsky programme is leading British cellist Natalie Clein, described by The Times as ‘mesmerising’ and ‘soaringly passionate’.
