East Coast Chamber Orchestra with Shai Wosner, piano

ECCO (East Coast Chamber Orchestra) is a dynamic collective that combines the strength and power of a great orchestra with the sensitivity of superb chamber music. Drawing from the leading soloists and orchestral musicians of today’s younger generation, ECCO is joined by Shai Wosner, a pianist of exceptional artistry and creative insight. Their Meany debut features Vijay Iyer’s Handmade Universe, a new piano concerto written for Shai Wosner and ECCO that blends jazz harmonies with intricate orchestrations. Presented in partnership with Emerald City Music. 

These youthful players are helping form classical music’s future. Long may they ECCO.
