Founded 2010: ‘An exciting ensemble of players based in the east of England, and performing regularly in Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds, Ely, Saffron Walden, and other venues in the region. EAChO has been acclaimed by audiences, media, and the professional artists with whom we have worked for our virtuosic playing, sensitive musicianship, and dynamic performances ... We currently give between 6 and 10 concerts per year, with 3-4 rehearsals, generally on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings, before concert day. We don’t expect our members – many of whom do not make their living from music – to be able to manage every one of our concerts, but clearly membership is a considerable commitment: we expect those playing in a concert to come to all rehearsals, so that the rehearsal process can be as productive and enjoyable as possible’.
