Leading Messiaen scholar Professor Christopher Dingle (Royal Birmingham Conservatoire) joins musicians from Ensemble 360 for this roundtable discussion exploring one of the great masterpieces of the twentieth century: Messiaen’s Quartet for the End of Time.
Ensemble 360 has gained an enviable reputation across the UK for the quality and integrity of their performances. Formed in 2005, eleven musicians of international standing came together to take up residency in South Yorkshire with Music in the Round, establishing a versatile group comprising five string players, five wind players and a pianist.
The Ensemble 360 musicians share a passion for the music which radiates through each performance. Their enthusiasm, drive and musicality captivate audiences both through the quality of their playing and their engaging spoken introductions. Due to the flexible nature of the group’s line-up the repertoire possibilities are enormous; anything from baroque duos, through classical quartets to new commissions for all eleven players.
