Since its founding, ECTB has been invited to perform at many renowned festivals and venues, such as the Schleswig-Holstein Musikfestival in Germany, the XXXVII Music in Old Cracow Fastival in Poland, TONLAGEN 2012 - the Dresden festival of contemporary music in Germany, and the Tongyeong International Music Festival 2013 in Korea.
