A first for Faversham Music as it welcomes a professional choir to the Assembly Rooms. ECHO is a vocal ensemble made up of young professional singers from across the UK. As a group, Echo intends to explore the full range of what ensemble singing means  – working both with and without a conductor , including improvisation in each concert and performing music both inside and outside of the Western classical canon. The group came together through Genesis Sixteen, the prestigious Young Artists Scheme run by The Sixteen.

Echo Vocal Ensemble bring their winter programme featuring seasonal music from across the world to the beautiful setting of Faversham Assembly Rooms in Kent. Join us for an hour of stunning choral music celebrating winter, and all the magic, myth and mystery the season brings.
