EMFEB is whatever you want it to be.
It is a Symphony Orchestra.
It is an Opera Production.
It is a Brass Band.
It is a String Orchestra.
We performed the greatest classical symphonies and concertos all over Europe - not least in our Hackney base in East London.
We strapped brass instruments to a donkey and hiked to an ancient Roman bridge in the Spanish mountains.
We toured Jersey as a mini-cantata orchestra with a choir of schoolchildren.
We performed a pub-opera in the finest pub in London.
We collaborated with a leading Manchester Club Outfit in the Hackney Empire.
We opened a trendy London Art Gallery in Stoke Newington.
We put a chamber orchestra in the living room of Sledmere House - one of England's most prestigious stately homes.
We opened the Grassington International Festival.
EMFEB is a collective of Brilliant Musicians and Brilliant Ideas.
EMFEB takes classical music to unusual venues in unexpected and innovative ways.
EMFEB is about talking to our audiences, it is about bringing music to life.
It's about doing projects that really inspire us.
EMFEB is about inspiring YOU.
We only perform projects we really care about about - we don't just churn out endless gigs.
We are driven by our conductor (Benjamin Ellin) our resident Composer (Owen Bourne) and our bank of fabulous orchestral musicians.
We play repertiore that you may not usually hear in mainstream orchestral concerts.
We play a World Premiere at every concert.
Yes EVERY concert.
We talk to you before we play, and we listen to you afterwards.
The only thing that makes EMFEB elitist - is the sound we make.
