Sunset

Dusk in the company of Ensemble 360, Sheffield Chamber Choir and string players from Sheffield Music Hub.

“The darkness is no darkness with Thee, But the night is as clear as the day…” (Psalm 139)

Join us at dusk in the company of Ensemble 360, Sheffield Chamber Choir, and talented young string players from Sheffield Music Hub. This concert promises to be a magical exploration of the exquisite melancholy of the drawing in of evening, featuring madrigals and contemporary choral works, together with Mahler’s lush setting of Beethoven’s much-loved ‘Serioso’ string quartet.
