Join Music in the Round for the finale of their 40th anniversary Sheffield Chamber Music Festival, with guest curator Steven Isserlis and Ensemble 360.
The programme features a grand work for a grand finale: George Onslow’s Nonet. Nicknamed the ‘French Beethoven’, this is a chance to hear one of his finest and largest-scale chamber works. Its five movements move through an expressive array of moods from turbulence to a jubilant conclusion.
Steven Isserlis will then join pianist Tim Horton for a heartfelt lament with Elégie by Gabriel Fauré. The event, and the festival, will sign off with Tchaikovsky’s celebratory musical postcard, Souvenir de Florence. This hugely popular string sextet by the great Russian composer features both Steven Isserlis and Ensemble 360’s cellist Gemma Rosefield.
