In Echo

The British ensemble In Echo specializes in music of the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, often performing unusual repertory in novel ways. The group also commissions contemporary music for historical instruments. In Echo was formed in 2016 by cornetto player Gawain Glenton, an expert player of his instrument who is also co-director of the English Cornett & Sackbut Ensemble and has played with such leading historical performance groups as Il Giardino Armonico, Fretwork, Concerto Copenhagen, and Les Talens Lyriques. In Echo often performs as a quintet, including Glenton on cornetto, Oliver Webber on violin, Emily White on sackbut, Richard Boothby on viol, and Silas Wollston on organ. The group has a flexible membership that also includes Adam Crighton, Anaïs Chen, Asako Morikawa, Bojan Čičić, Conor Hastings, Emily White, Rachel Byrt, Richard Boothby, Silas Wollston, and William Hunt; the ensemble is thus able to perform a wide variety of repertoires. The players adopt a free approach that has been described as almost improvisatory. In Echo almost immediately gained attention for its Delphian debut album, Music in a Cold Climate: Sounds of Hansa Europe, which explored the music of the Hanseatic Empire. The album made classical best-seller charts in 2018. That album included a new composition, Northern Soul by Andrew Keeling, and the group also commissions new music in addition to performing Renaissance and Baroque works. In Echo has appeared in Sweden and Germany as well as at various venues in the U.K. The group has been in demand especially often at festivals, having appeared at the Beverley Early Music Festival, Keble Early Music Festival, and the Brecon Baroque Festival, among others. In 2023, it was slated to make its debut at the Tage Alte Musik in Regensburg, Germany. That year, In Echo moved to the Linn label for its sophomore album, Philips & Dering: Motets, on which it collaborated with the Choir of Gonville & Caius College, Cambridge.
