Ensemble 360 was formed in 2005 to take up residency in South Yorkshire succeeding The Lindsays who were retiring as a quartet. The ensemble brings together musicians from across the globe to form one versatile ensemble of eleven musicians; five wind players, a pianist, double bassist and the Elisas String Quartet. Marking clarinettist Matthew Hunt's final appearance in Sheffield as a member of Ensemble 360, he appears in three pieces for this concert. Adès's 'Catch' is a series of intricate musical games and explosive new sounds for strings, clarinet and piano. Stravinsky's narrative work, 'A Soldier's Tale', features an enjoyable mix of styles including ragtime and klezmer to create a dramatic and melodic miniature epic. To end, one of Brahms's later works, his 'Clarinet Trio' providing a fitting conclusion to this fantastic concert.
