MOZART, ADÈS, STRAVINSKY & BRAHMS

MOZART Piano Trio in B flat K502  
ADÈS Catch  
STRAVINSKY A Soldier’s Tale Suite  
BRAHMS Clarinet Trio 

Marking clarinettist Matthew Hunt’s final appearance in Sheffield as a member of Ensemble 360, he appears in three pieces for this concert.  Adès’s Catch is a series of intricate musical games and explosive new sounds for strings, clarinet and piano. Stravinsky’s narrative work, A Soldier’s Tale, features an enjoyable mix of styles including ragtime and klezmer to create a dramatic and melodic miniature epic. To end, one of Brahms’s later works, his Clarinet Trio providing a fitting conclusion to this fantastic concert.
