MEIE LUGU
Eesti Filharmoonia Kammerkoor on kujunenud üheks tuntumaks Eesti muusikakollektiiviks maailmas. Koori repertuaar ulatub barokkmuusikast kuni nüüdisteosteni, kus eriline koht on Arvo Pärdi, Veljo Tormise, Tõnu Kõrvitsa, Erkki-Sven Tüüri, Ülo Kriguli ja teiste eesti heliloojate loomingul.

Hooaja jooksul annab EFK umbes 70 kontserti nii kodu- kui välismaal. Aastakümneid on tegutsetud rahvusvahelises muusikaelus koos mainekate dirigentide ja orkestritega, esinemispaikadeks Viini Kontserdimaja, Sydney Ooperimaja, Londoni Royal Albert Hall, Hong Kong City Hall, Hamburgi Elbphilharmonie, Pariisi Filharmoonia, New Yorgi Carnegie Hall, Los Angelese Walt Disney Kontserdimaja jpt.

Külalisdirigentidena on koori ees seisnud sellised maailmanimed, nagu Claudio Abbado, Helmuth Rilling, Eric Ericson, Neeme Järvi, Marc Minkowski, Gustavo Dudamel, Peter Phillips, Sir Simon Rattle jpt. EFK on teinud koostööd paljude tipporkestritega, nagu näiteks Londoni Sümfooniaorkester, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Los Angelese Filharmoonikud, Philip Glass Ensemble jpt.

Stabiilset kõrgtaset näitavad koori ligi 80 salvestist (plaadifirmadele ECM, Virgin Classics, Carus, Harmonia Mundi, Ondine, BIS). Albumid on võitnud mitmeid mainekaid auhindu, sh kaks Grammyt, Gramophone’i auhinna, Diapason d’Or’i, Prix Caecilia ning neid on 16 korral Grammyle esitatud.

Eesti Filharmoonia Kammerkoor on valitud kümne parima koori hulka maailmas BBC muusikaajakirja Classical Music ning Suurbritannias tegutseva klassikalise muusika raadiojaama Classic FM poolt.

1981. aastal Tõnu Kaljuste loodud koori ees on peadirigentidena seisnud veel briti dirigent Paul Hillier (2001–2007), hollandlane Daniel Reuss (2008–2013) ning läti dirigent Kaspars Putniņš (2014–2021). Alates hooajast 2021/2022 on koori kunstiline juht taas Tõnu Kaljuste.

The EPCC has collaborated with many leading orchestras and ensembles, including the London Symphony Orchestra, Les Musiciens du Louvre, Los Angeles Philharmonic and Philip Glass Ensemble.
