RAVEL (arr. Farrington) Mother Goose Suite (20′)
FARRENC Sextet (20′)
DURUFLÉ Prélude, récitatif et variations (12′) 
SCHUMANN Piano Quintet in E flat Op.44 (28′)  

This afternoon concert begins with the ‘Mother Goose’ Suite. Ravel’s delightful, whimsical work sets fairytales to music, performed here in a chamber arrangement. Starting life as a composition for piano four hands, and best known in an orchestral version, this chamber arrangement has been a favourite of players and audiences alike over the decades. Schumann’s Piano Quintet in E flat, widely considered to be his greatest chamber work, is an epic piano concerto in quintet form: serene, reflective and ultimately exultant.

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.
