EMFEB's history
EMFEB
was founded in 2002 by Owen Bourne, Benjamin Ellin and Gareth Mclearnon (pictured).
Its first ever concerts bred an entirely new audience for classical music in the
heart of Hackney and its present ambitions are to form an international Arts Organisation
associated with innovation and quality.
To date EMFEB have performed
well over 250 'concerts' and toured recurrently in the North of England, the East
Coast, the Jersey Channel Islands and The Spanish Mountains. They also have a
strong commitment to various International Festivals. Some notable past events
are shown below:
