Acclaimed pianist Roman Rabinovich makes Sheffield his only UK stop on an international tour, joining forces with the string players of Ensemble 360 in two of Bach’s great concertos. From the intimate exchanges of the Three-Part Inventions to the rich, unfolding patterns of The Art of Fugue, this programme reveals Bach’s extraordinary gift for building complex music from the simplest elements. His concertos offer moments of tenderness alongside dazzling keyboard writing, with piano and strings sharing melodies, answering one another and building towards passages of exhilarating energy.

The afternoon culminates in the dramatic D minor Keyboard Concerto: a thrilling conclusion to music full of warmth, invention and enduring beauty.

About the Artists

Ensemble 360 musicians

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.
