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

A concert at 07:30 am? In a cemetery chapel? It must be the Sheffield Chamber Music Festival!

Ensemble 360’s Music in the Round concert is a homage to the 20th-century English industrialist Walter Willson Cobbett... and also to the enduring popularity of The Lark Ascending. 

Ensemble 360 offer a game of two halves at the Sheffield Crucible Playhouse, pairing works by Pavel Haas and Leoš Janáček. 

Saint-Saëns’ music offers artistry and beauty without the intrusion of personal feeling – which he abhorred – as this mesmerising concert by Ensemble 360 confirms.

A centenary celebration of György Ligeti from Ensemble 360 in a concert of vibrant 20th-century music from Eastern Europe. 

Sheffield Chamber Music Festival goes on tour, but Ensemble 360’s string players are right at home in the unique “in the round” setting of St Martin’s Church, Stoney Middleton. 

Autumn colours of late Brahms illuminated this November evening in the company of Ensemble 360, before the concert concludes with Dohnányi at his most subversive.

One of the fathers of the wind quintet, a sextet for a unique instrumental line-up and Beethoven as we rarely hear him: an evening of surprises in Sheffield.
