Chris Addison (The Thick of It, Mock the Week) joins Ensemble 360 to bring his infectious enthusiasm for classical music to the Crucible.
Telling the story of Europe from the courts of 17th century Italy, through the political and social revolutions of 18th and 19th century Europe, to the weird and wonderful sounds conjured by today’s contemporary composers, Chris takes us on a journey through the rich, vibrant – and sometimes bizarre – history of classical chamber music.
Discover how a bassoonist beat up Bach, Mozart’s passion for the newly-invented clarinet (and for crude poetry), Beethoven’s embattled relationship with his failing hearing and the Emperor of France, and how Schoenberg tore up the musical rule book in a continent ravaged by war. Featuring live performances from some of the UK’s finest musicians and the inimitable curiosity and wit of Chris Addison’s storytelling, this will be an evening of insight, laughter and spine-tingling music.
Programme includes excerpts from:
CORELLI Trio Sonata de Camera in G minor
JS BACH Trio Sonata in G
HAYDN String Quartet Op.76 No.3
MOZART ‘Kegelstatt Trio’
BEETHOVEN Quintet for Piano and Wind
F MENDELSSOHN Piano Trio in D minor
HIGDON Piano Trio
