Music events
Bangers
This 5 star Edinburgh smash hit is back to continue the party with an exhilarating night of original music, lyrical storytelling, and pure UK garage vibes. How do the bangers we grew up listening to, shape who we are today?
Brandenburg: Bach for Harpsichord & Strings
Ensemble 360 is joined by leading harpsichordist Steven Devine for this special evening of music by three members of the Bach family.
Bellini's The Capulets And Montagues
Bellini's The Capulets and the Montagues is a gritty re-working of Shakespeare's Romeo & Juliet, where loyalty and love are put to the test amidst political violence, set to exquisite bel canto operatic music that brings the story’s tragedy to the fore.
Dear Evan Hansen
Meet Evan: an anxious high school kid who wants nothing more than to fit in. The thing is, on his way to fitting in, he didn’t tell the whole truth. And now must give up on a life he never dreamt he’d have.
Northern Ballet's Jane Eyre
Swan Lake is arguably the world’s most popular ballet, and a timeless tale. Prince Siegfried falls in love with Odette, Queen of the Swans, only to be tricked into betraying her by the wicked von Rothbart and his daughter Odile.
20 Years of Ensemble 360: Festival Launch
Schubert's rousing Octet (perhaps the piece most closely associated with Ensemble 360 over their two decades) showcases the range and breadth of the ensemble, with its jaunty, memorable tunes and high drama. It is coupled here with two works written especially for the group.
Intimate Letters
Janáček’s intricate second quartet – nicknamed ‘Intimate Letters’ – is skilfully interspersed with the Czech composer’s own writing, performed by an actor, in this specially scripted performance of the work for Ensemble 360 with actor.
Schumann & Ravel: Mother Goose
This afternoon concert begins with the ‘Mother Goose’ Suite. Ravel’s delightful, whimsical work sets fairytales to music, performed here in a chamber arrangement.
Goldberg: Bach at Breakfast
A breakfast concert of Bach’s hugely popular Goldberg Variations, at Samuel Worth Chapel. Intricate counterpoint and life-affirming spirituality are the hallmarks of this most intimate of works presented in a breath-taking, conversational arrangement for violin, viola and cello.
Goldberg: Bach at Dawn
As the day breaks and birdsong surrounds Samuel Worth Chapel, Bach’s hugely popular Goldberg Variations, will greet the dawn. Intricate counterpoint and life-affirming spirituality are the hallmarks of this most intimate of works presented in a breath-taking, conversational arrangement for violin, viola and cello.
