Music events in Sheffield
Ravel & Glass: Cinematic Quartets: Piatti Quartet
The Piatti Quartet have been described by composer Julian Anderson as “living treasures of chamber music… meticulous attention to detail is combined with strong expressive impulse and a wonderful sense of musical drama”, and return to the Playhouse after several rapturously received concerts across their stellar career.
Songs of Love: Claire Booth & Ensemble 360

Death & The Maiden - Dudok Quartet
Described as “quite simply revelatory” (The Irish Times) and “stylish, open-minded and adventurous” (The Guardian), the Dudok Quartet Amsterdam has made its name as playful, inventive interpreters of the string quartet repertoire.
