English Chamber Orchestra / Melvyn Tan

• Classical Music

The famous English Chamber Orchestra, which celebrates its 65th anniversary in 2025, can look back on historically unique musical encounters, including with Pinchas Zukerman, Daniel Barenboim, Isaac Stern, Itzhak Perlman, Luciano Pavarotti, Hilary Hahn, Jacqueline du Pré, Mstislav Rostropovich and Sir Colin Davis, who conducted the orchestra until the end of his life. The collaboration with the composer Benjamin Britten shaped the English Chamber Orchestra in a special way.


The top London orchestra will return to the Elbphilharmonie in 2025. The solo highlight of the concert will be the outstanding pianist Melvyn Tan. Born in Singapore in 1956, he went to England at the age of 12 to study piano at the Yehudi Menuhin School and later at the Royal College of Music. Since then, Melvyn Tan has performed internationally with renowned orchestras such as the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra and the Academy of St Martin in the Fields.
