Described as ‘sublime, spirited…completely assured’ (The Arts Desk), Echo Vocal Ensemble is an adventurous group of singers known for their flexibility, innovation and excellence. Since their debut in 2017, the group has performed at the Queen Elizabeth Hall, as Ensemble-in-Residence at Ryedale Festival and live on BBC Radio 3.

The ensemble first met as part of Genesis Sixteen, the young artists’ scheme run by The Sixteen, and has gone on to develop a reputation for innovative programming and multi-disciplinary work. Notable collaborators include poet Roger McGough, composer James MacMillan, visual artist Polly Apfelbaum and the London Philharmonic Orchestra. Echo aims to explore the full range of what ensemble singing can achieve, including improvisation and audience-immersive concert experiences. The group makes their Wigmore Hall debut in 2024.
