Jörg Widmann: the musical anarchist who brings a hefty dose of sheer joy The Guardian

MATTHEW HUNT clarinet NAOMI ATHERTON horn AMY HARMAN bassoon BENJAMIN NABARRO violin CLAUDIA AJMONE-MARSAN violin RUTH GIBSON viola GEMMA ROSEFIELD cello ELENA HULL double bass WIDMANN Octet SCHUBERT Octet Schubert’s Octet is a kaleidoscope of mood, tone and spirit that fuses the intimacy of delicate chamber music with grand outbursts on an orchestral scale.

Jörg Widmann’s richly tonal Octet (2004) was written by the outstanding clarinettist and composer in homage to Schubert.

“We just love playing Widmann’s Octet!

Originally conceived as a companion to Schubert’s work, it’s kind of off-the-wall but easy to listen to. What more could you want?”

BEETHOVEN 250

BEETHOVEN 250: STRING QUARTETS AND MORE WITH ENSEMBLE 360

Next year marks the 250th birthday of Beethoven, and celebrations for one of classical music’s greatest composers are being planned around the world.

Music in the Round’s contribution to the festivities includes presenting all 16 of Beethoven’s string quartets, alongside many of his other chamber works. The series of concerts launches in autumn 2019 with this evening dedicated to his acclaimed quartets, and will continue in Sheffield and around the country throughout 2020 and into spring 2021.

To undertake this concert cycle is to embark upon an extraordinary journey, not only into music of exceptional depth and beauty, but also into the soul of Beethoven, whose music speaks more directly and honestly from him than words can express Benjamin Nabarro, violin, Ensemble 360

Saturday 16 November 7.15 – 9.25pm Upper Chapel £20 £14 Disabled & Unemployed £5 Students & Under 35s BENJAMIN NABARRO violin CLAUDIA AJMONE-MARSAN violin RUTH GIBSON viola GEMMA ROSEFIELD cello BEETHOVEN Quartet in F Op.18 No.1 Quartet in C Op.59 No.3 Razumovsky Quartet in B flat Op.130 Beethoven wrote string quartets throughout most of his life, beginning with the Op.18s in his late twenties, and ending with the monumental late quartets written in the last years of his life when he was deaf.

Featuring pieces from Beethoven’s ‘early’, ‘middle’ and ‘late’ periods, this programme offers a fascinating journey into how the composer's work developed, from the early inspiration of Haydn to the unique voice of the later quartets that still resonates so powerfully today.

We approach this cycle with excitement, anticipation and awe, and invite you to do the same Benjamin Nabarro, violin, Ensemble 360

This is a programme that I’ve always wanted to perform. Along with Schubert’s String Quintet and Winterreise, these pieces are the culmination of a life cut tragically short. They convey such a complexity of emotion, from great joy and tenderness to chaos and devastation Tim Horton

LUNCHTIME CONCERT

ENSEMBLE 360 Tuesday 3 December 12.45 – 1.45pm Upper Chapel £14 £10 Disabled & Unemployed £5 Students & Under 35s

RUTH GIBSON viola GEMMA ROSEFIELD cello TIM HORTON piano JOACHIM Variations for viola and piano Op.10 BRAHMS Cello Sonata No.2 in F Op.99 Brahms’s Cello Sonata No.2 is arguably among the most beautiful works ever written for the instrument and widely regarded as a high point in late 19th century chamber music. It’s passionate, fiery and at times lamenting, with a joyously warm ending.

Joseph Joachim is best-known as the most gifted and celebrated violinist of the second half of the 19th century, but these Variations reveal that he was also a highly engaging and skilful composer.
