Performers

Ensemble 360

A reflective evening of intimate music at sundown in the unique in-the-round setting of St Martin’s Church in Stoney Middleton, against a stunning backdrop of the beautiful Peak District.

Schubert’s deeply personal and beloved ‘Death and the Maiden’ quartet is preceded by the crowning achievement of Sibelius’s chamber music, a soulful quartet of fierce intensity, and a sonorous duet from Schnittke that draws out the eerie tones of the bass strings.

Limited tickets available; early booking is highly recommended.
