The Chamber Orchestra of Europe (COE), established in 1981, is an orchestra based in London. The orchestra comprises about 60 members from across Europe. The players pursue parallel careers as international soloists, members of chamber groups and as tutors and teachers of music. The orchestra receives substantial support from the Gatsby Charitable Foundation and the Underwood Trust;[1] they have no single home resident hall and no appointed resident conductor. The orchestra is a registered charity under English law.[2]
The COE performs regularly in the major cities of Europe, with occasional visits to the United States, Hong Kong, Japan and Australia. The orchestra has strong links with the Alte Oper in Frankfurt, the Styriarte festival in Graz, the Lucerne Festival, as well as the Kölner Philharmonie in Cologne, the Philharmonie de Paris and the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam. From 2007 to 2013, the COE was appointed cultural Ambassador by the European Union in its culture programme. The COE created the COE Academy in 2009 in order to provide opportunities to gifted music students to study with COE musicians.
The orchestra has made over 250 commercial recordings for all the major recording companies with various conductors, including Claudio Abbado,[3] Paavo Berglund,[4] Nikolaus Harnoncourt,[5][6] and Yannick Nézet-Séguin. The orchestra has won a number of prizes for its recordings, including three Gramophone Awards for the Record of the Year and two Grammys. The COE was the first orchestra to create its own label, COE Records, in association with ASV Records (now distributed by Sanctuary/Universal Music).
