“One of the finest nights of entertainment this city has to offer.” The New Yorker

Wesley Stace, hailed by Rolling Stone as “a literate and ironic neo-folkie”, brings his legendary New York cabaret show to Sheffield for the very first time.

Guests already announced include the writers Jackie Kay, “one of the most prolific and insightful poets currently writing in the UK” (Aesthetica), and Paul Muldoon, “the most significant English-language poet born since the second World War” (The Times Literary Supplement). They will be joined by stars of comedy and music hand-picked by the renowned singer-songwriter to perform along with Ensemble 360 and Errollyn Wallen. Expect the unexpected in an anarchic carnival of creativity.

“[Wesley Stace’s] genial manner and sharp wit means that his little black book of contacts is extensive, including all the musicians and authors you’ve heard of, and many that you haven’t.” theafterword.co.uk

 

“An incredible feast of music, stories and comedy”

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.
