Another day, another impeccable concert by Ensemble 360 and friends at this year’s Sheffield Chamber Music Festival.

The JACK Quartet give an immaculate performance of a disastrously programmed concert at the 92nd St Y. 

The temporary loss of their first violin holds no fears for the Doric Quartet in this richly satisfying concert of playful Haydn and driven Beethoven at the Bradfield Festival. 

The Ligeti Quartet’s new album of music by Anna Meredith features at their launch event at The Leadmill, Sheffield, but a performance of Ligeti’s First String Quartet steals the limelight.

The Marmen Quartet returns to Sheffield, the site of some of the quartet’s formative experiences, in this sometimes uneven concert of Mozart, Janáček and Beethoven.
