MATTHEW HUNT clarinet BENJAMIN NABARRO violin CLAUDIA AJMONE-MARSAN violin RUTH GIBSON viola GEMMA ROSEFIELD cello TIM HORTON piano SKEMPTON The Moon is Flashing BEETHOVEN An die ferne geliebte SKEMPTON Piano Concerto VAUGHAN WILLIAMS On Wenlock Edge

[Skempton’s music is] austerely beautiful, sparse, decidedly enigmatic.

The Guardian

In celebration of Ensemble 360’s new CD featuring works by Howard Skempton, this concert includes two pieces revised in 2018 especially for chamber ensemble. These are presented together with Beethoven’s To the distant beloved, often regarded as the first ever song-cycle, and Vaughan Williams’s

beautifully elegiac On Wenlock Edge. The composer’s settings of A.E. Houseman’s Shropshire Lad poems are sung by James Gilchrist, praised by The Times as an interpreter of English song who is “in a class by himself”.

BENJAMIN NABARRO violin CLAUDIA AJMONE-MARSAN violin RUTH GIBSON viola GEMMA ROSEFIELD cello TIM HORTON piano BEETHOVEN Grosse Fuge in B flat Op.133 SHOSTAKOVICH Piano Quintet in G minor Op.57 CARMEN HO The Way It Is for string quartet (world premiere commissioned by the Royal Philharmonic Society) BEETHOVEN String Quartet in G Op.18 No.2

An evening of music that takes us to the extremes of Beethoven’s character.

The Grosse Fuge is celebrated for its dramatic nature – Stravinsky declared it to be “an absolutely contemporary piece of music that will be contemporary forever” – while the early Quartet in G is rich in wit and humour. These works are complemented by Shostakovich’s popular Quintet, featuring its own remarkable fugue, and a short new string quartet by outstanding young composer Carmen Ho.

This is the second concert in our Beethoven 250 series, a celebration of the composer’s anniversary.

Performances by Ensemble 360 will include all 16 of his monumental quartets alongside many of his other chamber works; the series continues through 2020 and into spring 2021.

ENSEMBLE 360 Tuesday 3 March 12.45 – 1.35pm Upper Chapel £14 £10 Disabled & Unemployed £5 Students & Under 35s

Jörg Widmann is one of the most exciting voices in music at the moment. That he is a clarinettist is of great excitement to me too, as he has written a good deal for the instrument.

Beautiful, funny, virtuosic and HUGELY entertaining. I can’t wait to ride the rollercoaster that is his Fantasie once again.

Matthew Hunt

MATTHEW HUNT clarinet TIM HORTON piano SCHUMANN Fantasiestücke Op.73 WIDMANN Fantasie for solo clarinet IRELAND Fantasy-Sonata in E flat Matthew and Tim present an enchanting fantasy world. Schumann’s pieces form a compact suite with contrasting movements, while John Ireland’s lyrical sonata is considered to be one of the composer’s finest chamber music works. These are presented together with Jörg Widmann’s short and lively clarinet solo.

A joyful showcase of Beethoven and more from the wind players of Ensemble 360. Beethoven’s Quintet for piano and wind is one of the great pieces in the wind repertoire, hugely enjoyable to both listen to and play.

Writer of numerous wind quintets, Danzi’s knowledge of the instruments shines through in his melodic writing.

Inspired by Beethoven’s Quintet, Louise Farrenc’s Sextet adds the flute and is set in the style of a chamber concerto for piano and wind. A brilliant 19th century composer, she is now starting to achieve the recognition her outstanding music deserves.

ENSEMBLE 360 with guests ADRIAN WILSON oboe MATTHEW HUNT clarinet NAOMI ATHERTON horn AMY HARMAN bassoon plus guests on oboe, clarinet, horn and bassoon

BEETHOVEN Rondino in E flat WoO25 Sextet in E flat Op.71 Octet in E flat Op.103 Music for wind instruments (Harmoniemusik) was regularly composed in the 18th and 19th centuries, and Beethoven’s Sextet and Octet are two of the finest examples of this genre. The Sextet was reviewed at its premiere as “distinguished by fine melodies and a wealth of new and surprising ideas”, and the Octet is just as lyrical. The Rondino is notable for featuring the horns as melodic instruments, with a memorable duet that closes this enjoyable work.

Sunday’s events take place at the pioneering new multi-arts venue Ko:Host, located above Kommune in Sheffield’s recently transformed iconic Castle House.

Join us for a leisurely Sunday of music-making while enjoying refreshments from the many independent outlets in Kommune offering speciality coffees, freshly prepared meals, artisanal baked goods and craft brews.

EVENING CONCERT STEVEN OSBORNE piano

THE FINAL SONATAS Friday 27 March 7.15 – 8.50pm Upper Chapel £20 £14 Disabled & Unemployed £5 Students & Under 35s

BEETHOVEN Sonata in E Op.109 Sonata in A flat Op.110 Sonata in C minor Op.111 The last of Beethoven’s 32 piano sonatas, these three sublime pieces were commissioned by Beethoven’s publisher almost 200 years ago, in April 1820. They form a trio of beautifully balanced and contrasting works that are best heard as a set, with each sonata exploring a wide range of technique and emotion, from extreme delicacy to muscular firepower.

Steven Osborne is widely celebrated as a thrilling performer. His 2019 recording of these Beethoven Sonatas was acclaimed as among his finest and this recital promises to be an electrifying experience.

Post-concert conversation Join Steven and BBC Radio 3’s Tom McKinney for an informal chat after the concert. FREE to all ticket-holders

Osborne occupies the very different world of each sonata with equal conviction. A magnificent achievement.

Based on Arabic musical traditions, her innovative sound has echoes of everything from jazz to flamenco, infused with warmth, humour and optimism. She describes her debut album Syrian Dreams as her “personal journey through six years of

war in Syria. I see the act of playing music as the opposite of death; it is a life- and hope-affirming act.”
