Following the great success of their first appearance here in 2006, we are delighted to welcome back members of Ensemble 360, Sheffield based but increasingly building an international reputation. Alongside Brahms' great Clarinet Quintet, the programme includes a reconstruction (by Gregory Barrett) of the septet that Sibelius wrote but turned into the first (1892) version of his orchestral tone poem En Saga.
Within minutes of working with Ensemble 360 I realised that I was surrounded by musicians of world class who could respond to the music with open minds and generous spirit. Trevor Pinnock
We are thrilled to have found musicians of such extraordinary quality... They are destined for great things. Peter Cropper, former leader of the Lindsay String Quartet and founder of Ensemble 360
Pre-concert talk at 6.15 pm
Professor Brian newbould will give a talk on Sibelius and Brahms.
Entry is free to all ticket holders.
