Finale: Mozart, Beethoven & Elgar

MOZART Flute Quartet in D K285 (15')
BEETHOVEN Quintet for Piano and Wind Op.16 (30')
ELGAR Piano Quintet Op.84 (40')

In a nostalgic nod to Ensemble 360's beginnings, the group revisits the music from their very first concert in this 20th anniversary Festival Finale. The first of Mozart’s virtuosic flute quartets opens the evening, followed by a warm and witty work by Beethoven. The Finale culminates with a burst of energy in Elgar’s glorious Piano Quintet.

Performed by the group in 2005, shortly after its establishment by Music in the Round, this concert was specifically curated to showcase the breadth and diversity of Sheffield’s stunning new resident ensemble. This ‘repeat’ performance of the same joyous music celebrates Ensemble 360 and highlights the group’s extraordinary musical strengths once more.
