Presented by RPS award-winning writer Leah Broad, whose group biography of female composers Quartet (2023) won plaudits around the globe, this concert with conversation introduces us to the ground-breaking Avril Coleridge-Taylor and her world. Setting this too-often overlooked composer, conductor and pianist in the context of the musicians who championed, supported and inspired her, Leah introduces rarely heard works, performed by Ensemble 360. Music by Coleridge-Taylor herself will be presented alongside her father Samuel’s crowning achievement in chamber music, Vaughan Williams’s soulful romance and Elgar’s charming, celebrated song to the morning.

About the Artists

Members of Ensemble 360

Ensemble 360

Ensemble 360 has gained an enviable reputation across the UK for the quality and integrity of their performances. Formed in 2005, eleven musicians of international standing came together to take up residency in South Yorkshire with Music in the Round, establishing a versatile group comprising five string players, five wind players and a pianist.  Get a glimpse of them in performance here.

The Ensemble 360 musicians share a passion for the music which radiates through each performance. Their enthusiasm, drive and musicality captivate audiences both through the quality of their playing and their engaging spoken introductions. Due to the flexible nature of the group’s line-up the repertoire possibilities are enormous; anything from baroque duos, through classical quartets to new commissions for all eleven players.
