Echo Collevtive
Founded byNeil Leiter and Margaret Hermant, Echo Collective is a creative and diverse community of classically trained musicians and instrumentalists, based inBrussels. Their music can be described as “post-classical” or“neo-classical”, existing in a space to allow innovation in any direction and shedding the rigour of traditional classical music.

As well as performing and upcoming recordings of their own compositions, the group collaborates with contemporary composers and bands. Past and on-goingcollaborations include Jóhann Jóhannsson, A Winged Victory for the Sullen, JoepBeving, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Christina Vantzou, Daniel O’Sullivan, and Erasure.InSeptember 2019, they released “12 conversations with Thilo Heinzmann”, their album of the music of Jóhann Jóhannsson on Deutsche Grammophon, receiving critical acclaim from Guardian (‘poignant beauty’) and Pitchfork. Prior to this Echo Collective released their breakthrough album “Echo Collective plays Amnesiac”, a re-working of the Radiohead album, in 2018, helping to establishtheir unique sound and firmly establishing them as the leading creative force in this overwhelmingly popular genre.
