Conductor: Sarah Latto
The ten “sparkling, poised and powerful”, voices of Echo Vocal Ensemble visit Edinburgh for the first time in a concert celebrating new and old choral music from Britain.
The performance features little known but stunning music by 17th century composer Robert Ramsey, juxtaposed by pieces by contemporary Scottish and English composers, all presented in Echo’s unique style. Alongside music spanning 400 years, expect improvisation, folksong and an innovative approach to performance from one of the UK’s most exciting new groups.
"The sound experience was incredible - I don't think I've ever heard anything like it”
