Ensemble 360 - String Quartet
We are particularly thrilled to be able to welcome the widely acclaimed Ensemble 360, described by The Guardian as “… renowned for its virtuoso performances, bold programming and engaging interpretations…”. They appear for us in their string quartet formation, performing Janáček, Britten and Shostakovich.
Continuing the Lindsay Quartet’s ethos of delivering world-class performances to audiences that wouldn’t usually have access to live chamber music, Ensemble 360 brings its singular approach not only to the UK’s most prestigious concert halls, but to venues across the UK. They are highly committed to presenting chamber music to new audiences and, in partnership with Music in the Round, present a regular concert series in Barnsley, Doncaster, Milton Keynes, Goole and Portsmouth with a devotion to developing grass-roots audiences.
