Common Ground performances:
 
In addition to the public performances that are scheduled above, the ECSO will also present unique opportunities for patrons to hear a piece performed in scheduled solo exposure. Modeled after other symphonies’ one-to-one offerings, this is a unique and safe way to hear our musicians like never before.
 
ECSO Subscribers and donors who supported between July 1, 2019 and June 30, 2020 will have access to these for free and there is a suggested donation for others of $5. Sign up by visiting the ECSO website (www.ectsymphony.com) to obtain the link to a survey which will help match you with a musician.
