The Engineering Chamber Orchestra (EChO) is an organization open to all musically inclined students, faculty, and staff throughout The University of Texas at Austin. Its mission is to preserve musical interest and appreciation by encouraging its members to promote music in the community. Our organization offers members the opportunity to participate in unique chamber ensemble experiences not found anywhere else on campus.EChO members rehearse a variety of music in a full symphony orchestra and/or in ensembles of two to five members. At the end of each semester, they have the opportunity to showcase their efforts in a public concert series. Members also have opportunities to promote music by teaching kids about the science behind music and performing at nursing homes.Founded in Fall 2009, EChO was immensely popular from its inception, with 70 new members grouped into small ensembles. In Spring 2013, EChO started its first ever orchestra with only 13 string players. As of Fall 2022, EChO boasts 107 members in 18 ensembles and one full orchestra with 86 performers.
