Tonight's show is dedicated to Echo Collective and their new album, Johan Johannsson's string quartet '12 Conversations with Thilo Heinzmann' to be released on Deutsche Grammophon September 20th.
Founded by Neil Leiter and Margaret Hermant, Echo Collective is a diverse group of classically trained musicians based in Brussels, Belgium. In addition to its own projects, the group collaborates with modern composers and bands on concerts, tours, film scores, recording sessions, and original compositions.
