European Union Chamber Orchestra (EUCO)

The EUCO gave its first concerts in 1981 and has since gained a worldwide reputation as a musical ambassador for the European Union. With an annual schedule of 60 concerts, regular tours take it to many prestigious halls worldwide. The Orchestra has performed with many legendary artists including Yehudi Menuhin, James Galway, Lazar Berman, Mischa Maisky, Severino Gazzeloni and Igor Oistrakh.

This year, the British Council in conjunction with the UK's presidency of the European Union, is bringing the EUCO to Kuala Lumpur. Their one and only performance here in November is definitely a not-to-be-missed event as it will showcase some of Europe's finest classical musicians.

The 19-strong orchestra from 11 member countries of the European Union will be directed by multi award-winning Matthias Wollong. Wollong is concert master of the Radio Symphony Orchestra of Berlin and has directed tours and concerts by the German Chamber Orchestra and the New Berlin Chamber Orchestra.

EUCO has received funds from the British Council, Goethe-Institut, the Ministry of Culture of Spain, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Italy and the Cultural Relations Committee of Ireland. The EUCO also gratefully acknowledges funding from the European Parliament.
