From small beginnings...
Exeter Children’s Orchestra (ECO) was formed in 1970 originally as an educational project through
the Old St Luke’s Teacher Training College. Since then ECO has grown into a highly successful
organisation with a regular membership of around 100, a constantly changing repertoire ranging from
classical music to pop and jazz, and a busy schedule of concerts in Exeter and elsewhere. Twinning
links have been established between ECO and young musicians in France, Germany and Russia and
many exchanges have taken place.
