Founded in 1978 as the English [[String Orchestra]] by conductor [[William Boughton]], the orchestra was first based in [[Malvern, Worcestershire|Malvern]] and quickly established a reputation for its performances of music in the English Romantic and national styles prevalent in the early decades of the 20th century. Over time, the English String Orchestra's embrace of larger works, especially those requiring woodwind, brass or percussion, caused its adoption of the name English Symphony Orchestra to reflect its often augmented instrumentation.


Partnerships with other British or British-based musicians of great renown, including [[Nigel Kennedy]], [[Steven Isserlis|Stephen Isserlis]], [[Daniel Hope (violinist)|Daniel Hope]] and John Lill helped bring the orchestra national recognition.

The orchestra came to international attention throughout the 1980s and 1990s in large part due to their series of recordings for [[Nimbus Records]], in particular, their advocacy for the works of early- and mid- 20th C. British music by composers like [[Arnold Bax]], [[Frank Bridge]], Butterworth, [[John Ireland (composer)|John Ireland]], [[Gerald Finzi]] and [[Lennox Berkeley]] as well as more mainstream figures like Britten, Elgar and Vaughan Williams. The ESO continue to record for Nimbus but also work with the [[Naxos Records|Naxos]], Avie, Somm, Toccata and Signum record labels.

The ESO continue to record for Nimbus but also work with the [[Naxos Records|Naxos]], Avie, Somm, Toccata and Signum record labels.


Since the appointment of [[Kenneth Woods]] in 2013, the orchestra has extended their longstanding commitment to British music to include a major commitment to 21st Century British music. In addition to their own active commissioning programme, the ESO work closely with soloists, festivals and record labels to develop co-commissioning projects. In 2017, the ESO launched the 21st Century Symphony Project, and effort to reinvigorate the modern symphonic repertoire by commissioning, premiering and recording nine symphonies by nine leading composers. The project began with the premiere of Philip Sawyers' Third Symphony in 2017 and continues in 2018 with the premieres of [[David Matthews (composer)|David Matthews]]' Ninth Symphony and [[Matthew Taylor (composer)|Matthew Taylor]]'s Fifth Symphony.
[[Yehudi Menuhin]] served as the orchestra's principal guest conductor from 1991 until his death in 1999. Boughton stood down as artistic director in 2006. [[Vernon Handley]] became principal conductor in 2007, and held the post until his death in 2008.

Under Woods' leadership the orchestra has also taken an active role in promoting the music of composers whose music was suppressed by the Nazi's before and during World War II. This has led to influential performances and recordings of works by [[Ernst Krenek]], [[Hans Gál|Hans Gal]], [[Michael Tippett]] and [[Viktor Ullmann]].

The English Symphony Orchestra and the English String Orchestra (collectively abbreviated as ESO) are two iterations of a British professional orchestra based in the city of Worcester, Worcestershire, in the West Midlands of England.

History

[edit]

Founded in 1978 as the English String Orchestra by conductor William Boughton, the orchestra was first based in Malvern and quickly established a reputation for its performances of music in the English Romantic and national styles prevalent in the early decades of the 20th century. Over time, the English String Orchestra's embrace of larger works, especially those requiring woodwind, brass or percussion, caused its adoption of the name English Symphony Orchestra to reflect its often augmented instrumentation.

Partnerships with other British or British-based musicians of great renown, including Nigel Kennedy, Steven Isserlis, Daniel Hope and John Lill helped bring the orchestra national recognition.

The orchestra came to international attention throughout the 1980s and 1990s in large part due to their series of recordings for Nimbus Records, in particular, their advocacy for the works of early- and mid- 20th-century British music by composers like Arnold Bax, Frank Bridge, George Butterworth, John Ireland, Gerald Finzi and Lennox Berkeley as well as more mainstream figures like Benjamin Britten, Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams. The ESO continue to record for Nimbus but also work with the Naxos, Avie, Somm, Toccata and Signum record labels.

Yehudi Menuhin served as the orchestra's principal guest conductor from 1991 until his death in 1999. Boughton stood down as artistic director in 2006. Vernon Handley became principal conductor in 2007, and held the post until his death in 2008. In 2012. the ESO named Kenneth Woods as director of its Malvern concert series.[1] He became principal conductor in 2013.[2] In 2016, his remit was expanded to artistic director. During Woods' tenure, the ESO has extended its longstanding commitment to British music to include a major commitment to 21st Century British music. In addition to its own active commissioning programme, the ESO work closely with soloists, festivals and record labels to develop co-commissioning projects. In 2017, the ESO launched the 21st Century Symphony Project, and effort to reinvigorate the modern symphonic repertoire by commissioning, premiering and recording nine symphonies by nine leading composers. The project began with the premiere of Philip Sawyers' Third Symphony in 2017 and continues in 2018 with the premieres of David Matthews' Ninth Symphony[3] and Matthew Taylor's Fifth Symphony.

The orchestra has also promoted the music of composers whose music was suppressed by the Nazis before and during World War II, to include performances and recordings of works by Ernst Krenek, Hans Gál, Michael Tippett and Viktor Ullmann.

The ESO was one of the first orchestras in the UK to return to working safely during the COVID-19 lockdown in 2020, and developed an online series of pre-recorded concerts in partnership with Wyastone Concert Hall which are shared on their ESO Digital platform.

Adrian Williams is the orchestra's current John McCabe Composer-in-Association. Philip Sawyers, the prior composer-in-association, has the title of composer laureate with the ESO. April Frederick is the current artist-in-residence of the ESO. The ESO's current leader is Zoe Beyers. In August 2020, Andrew Farquharson was appointed as the first chief executive officer of the ESO.
