About Us

English Camerata Soloists (ECS) offers all classical music instrumentalists an exciting collaborative summer course, unmatched for its extensive coaching.

We take much trouble and set ourselves a very high standard to offer a top quality worthwhile experience. 

Who Comes

For pre-formed groups and individuals meticulously matched by the musical director.

Typical ensembles are:

Those for strings, and for piano and strings: the duos, trios, quartets, quintets & sextets.

This year we are working to develop the wind chamber music section with emphasis on the additional feature of chamber music for wind and strings.

Piano and wind chamber music, and mixed string/wind/piano ensembles.

Baroque ensembles for strings and winds for baroque and early classical repertoire.

Wind ensembles: smaller and larger-scale chamber music (with its wide and varied repertoire). 

The enthusiasm of the players together with the ‘buzz’ from the coaching engenders a vibrant atmosphere, stimulating and sociable.

All the Course arrangements are dedicated to being smooth and supportive for the uninterrupted enjoyment of it; come and play to your heart’s content.


Our Chamber Music Course is going into its 27th year. Participants look forward to it with great enthusiasm and spread the word that here is a ‘jewel'. Precious holiday entitlement is gladly taken for it and devotees return regularly.

​Pre-formed groups and individuals.


Residential and non-residential: Part Course available.


The 2nd August is an optional extra day. Click here for fees and booking.
