Ensemble 360 is renowned for virtuoso performances, bold programming and engaging interpretations of music, ranging from baroque duos through classical quartets to new commissions for all 11 players. For the Mananan Festival, they will present a programme for four wind players and piano.
Ensemble 360 is a versatile and unique group of 11 musicians whose work is deeply embedded in the communities it serves. The name reflects the group’s passion for performing in the round, letting the audience surround the players and gain an unusually close relationship with live chamber music. Within its home city of Sheffield, the group is Resident Ensemble of Music in the Round and is proud to call the Sheffield Crucible Theatre’s Playhouse its home – an intimate space that challenges the conventions of classical music concerts by allowing the audience up close to the players. This is where the group cultivated its distinctively personal approach to music-making and performing.
Ensemble 360 is a mixed group comprising five string players, five winds and one piano. Formed in 2005 by Music in the Round to continue the great legacy of the Lindsay Quartet, the group now boasts a glowing reputation throughout the UK and is known best for the outstanding quality of its performances, the breadth of its work and its passion for reaching new audiences. 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 to venues right across the UK.
Community and education are at the heart of Ensemble 360’s work. The group is recognised not only for the excellence of its performances in major recital halls but also for its pioneering storybook musical events. Every year thousands of young children are introduced to classical music through Music in the Round’s innovative collaborations with local schools in Sheffield and further afield.

Ludwig van Beethoven: Quintet for Piano and Winds in E flat major, op. 16
