Always a Music Mondays favorite, the exhilarating conductor-less East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO) consists of soloists, Grammy winners, chamber musicians in today’s leading ensembles, and principals in major American orchestras. Renowned for their “sheer exuberance” (New York Times), ECCO combines the strength and power of a great orchestral ensemble with the personal involvement and sensitivity of chamber music.

Grosse Fuge, op. 133
Benjamin Britten
Prelude and Fugue for 18 strings, op. 29
