We’re very sorry but this concert has been postponed due to Tony Halstead seriously injuring his hand. Box office staff will be contacting ticket holders over the next few days. Please accept our apologies for any disappointment caused. 

Programme includes music by ECKLEBE, BUSH, COOKE, FRICKER & TOURNEMIRE  

Our weekend of wind music concludes with a celebration of the horn, inspired by the musical library of Britain’s foremost 20th century horn player, Dennis Brain.  

Following their recent CD release ‘From the library of Dennis Brain’, this is an opportunity to hear live in concert some of the lost gems featured on the CD by Stephen Stirling and Tony Halstead, two stars of the horn world. They are joined by Ensemble 360’s Naomi Atherton and guests who bring the afternoon to a joyful conclusion with treasured works from the horn repertoire. 

Music in the Round is looking for horn players of approx. Grade 8 standard to join in with a performance of BERLIOZ Roman Carnival Overture as the finale to this horn celebration.
Places are strictly limited for the massed horn rendition. Interested? Please contact Ellen before 24 August at ellen@musicintheround.co.uk

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.
