Classical Concert Series
   
The East Coast Chamber Orchestra (ECCO) will perform as a part of Seton Hall University's Classical Concert Series on Tuesday, April 28, 2009 at SOPAC. The performance starts at 7:30 p.m. Tickets for this performance are priced at $25 regular admission, $15 for seniors and $8 for all students and Seton Hall employees. Tickets are available through the SOPAC box office at (973) 313-2787.
 
The East Coast Chamber Orchestra was established in 2001. This group of exciting young string players envisioned the creation of a conductor-less and democratically-governed chamber orchestra focused purely on music-making and sharing its explorations with different communities. This organic approach, combined with passion and commitment, resulted in the creation of ECCO. Its members are soloists, principals in major American orchestras, and experienced chamber musicians, many trained at Marlboro.
 
ECCO combines the power and expansiveness of a great orchestral ensemble with the personal involvement and spontaneity of intimate chamber music. A New York City Town Hall debut in 2004 and a U.S. debut tour in April 2006 (including the Kennedy Center) gave ECCO an exciting opportunity to present fresh interpretations of new and old works coupled with passionate and joyous playing, earning the ensemble standing ovations and an immediate re-engagement. ECCO made its international debut in 2007 at the Seoul Music Festival and Academy in Korea. It will be returning to the Kennedy Center for a re-engagement in 2010. The Washington Post declares, “These youthful players are helping form classical music's future. Long may they ECCO.”  Preview the musical talent of ECCO at http://www.myspace.com/eastcoastchamberorchestra.
