In Echo
Formed and directed by Gawain, In Echo is a diverse and colourful ensemble that aims to explore the rich repertoire of the 16th and 17th centuries. The ensemble also commissions and performs new music for old instruments. The group's debut CD 'Music in a Cold Climate: sounds of Hansa Europe' was released in January 2018 on Delphian Records. It broke into the top ten of the classical charts and has received some stellar reviews.
