Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

European Contemporary Composers' Orchestra (ECCO) aims to establish itself as a pan-European “body of sound”, dedicated to the performance, circulation and promotion of contemporary art music. In practice, it is a network of active ensembles, orchestras and young professionals, supporting creative dialogue among composers and performers and offering young professionals the opportunity to develop their skills with ensembles experienced in contemporary performing practices on an international level. By its educational dimension, ECCO serves as a pro-active development and networking arena for professional composers and performers, especially young and emerging ones.

The next ECCO concert will take place in Vienna on 12 October 2017 at the University of Music and Performing Arts Vienna. The concert will be performed by Wiener Concert-Verein and feature the following string orchestra pieces:

Lacrimae – Krešimir Seletković (Croatia)
Respectus – Rene Eespere (Estonia)
Brittle Fluid – Tyler Futrell (Norway)
