His Serene Highness, Dr Donatus Prince of Hohenzollern
The secret of musical composition is that it evolves from an elementary tone. As the music develops it refers to that silent, primary tone
and spans the attention of the listener, even elevating the mind into meditation. To make him recall that unwritten elementary tone and the instruments sing and soar above it is the capacity and a true gift of the English Chamber Orchestra to its audience.For decades the English Chamber Orchestra has been the capital of British musical culture in the world. After the disruption of the
pandemic, and in the current difficult economic climate, ‘The Friends of the English Chamber Orchestra’ now help the orchestra to open a new chapter of its remarkable history. I am proud to be a part of it and look forward to welcoming you into the ECO family
