SUMMARY:BEETHOVEN & BRAHMS STRING QUARTETS: Opus13
DESCRIPTION:BEETHOVEN String Quartet in D Op.18 No.3 (25’)\nADÈS Arcadiana  (20’)\nBRAHMS String Quartet No.1 in C minor  (35’) \nOpus 13\, the most recent winner of the prestigious Wigmore Hall International String Quartet competition\, makes its Sheffield debut at Music in the Round with a programme of bold and lyrical works.  \nPraised by the judges for “technically superb and emotionally compelling” performances\, the Quartet follows in the footsteps of a glittering roster of past winners\, including the internationally renowned Leonkoro Quartet\, Quartet Van Kuijk and the Takacs Quartet.  \nBeethoven’s first string quartet is a bright\, lyrical and humorous work\, undercut by a deeply affecting slow movement. Indebted to Beethoven’s later work\, Brahms’s String Quartet No.1 is a bold\, passionate piece\, from its striking opening bars to its rapturous conclusion.  \nArcadiana\, the first string quartet by Thomas Adès\, “one of the most accomplished and complete musicians of his generation” (The New York Times) also features\, portraying an evocation of paradise with references to Mozart’s opera The Magic Flute\, the painter Poussin and Greek mythology.

SUMMARY:ELGAR PIANO QUINTET: Brodsky String Quartet & Martin Roscoe
DESCRIPTION:PURCELL Fantasia No.5 (4’)\nMACMILLAN For Sonny (5’)\nMACMILLAN Memento (4’)\nBRITTEN String Quartet No.3 (26’)\nELGAR Piano Quintet (37’) \nNo stranger to Sheffield audiences\, pianist Martin Roscoe was a frequent collaborator with the Lindsay String Quartet\, founders of Music in the Round. Here he joins forces with another titanic quartet\, the prolific Brodskys\, who have been performing for over half a century to prizes and plaudits around the world.  \nElgar’s Piano Quintet is an undisputed masterpiece: a tender yet muscular work of epic emotions. The emotional core of the piece begins with a ravishing viola melody\, and its final movement magically conjures a stirring chorale before plunging to a thrilling and thundering conclusion.

SUMMARY:NORTHERN LIGHTS: Engegård Quartet
DESCRIPTION:MOZART String Quartet No.15 in D minor K.421 (33’)\nBEETHOVEN String Quartet No.11 Op.95\, ‘Serioso’ (20’)\nGRIEG String Quartet (33’) \nNorway’s multi-award-winning Engegård Quartet brings its customary boldness\, energy and freshness to Sheffield. It is a quartet with a deep affinity with Mozart and Beethoven and a profound commitment to Norwegian music.  \nFresh from releasing a highly praised complete recorded cycle of Mozart’s string quartets\, this Music in the Round concert brings together key strands of their musical life. \nBeethoven’s Serioso retains its power to move as it veers violently between brutish power and yearning lyricism before tumbling to its thrilling conclusion. Grieg’s only completed string quartet is joyously inspired by the unique sound of the hardanger fiddle\, evoking singing\, dancing and quarrels in a distinctly Norwegian musical language.

SUMMARY:Brigantes War & Renewal
DESCRIPTION:PÄRT Cantus in Memoriam Benjamin Britten\nBRITTEN Double Concerto for Violin and Viola\nVAUGHAN WILLIAMS Prelude to The 49th Parallel\nSHOSTAKOVICH Symphony No. 9 \nStep into a musical time machine and explore how great composers have shaped the sounds we hear today. Each concert in our new season begins in a different year\, then travels across the centuries to reveal how familiar ideas – beautiful melodies\, vivid storytelling\, nature\, memory and national character – have been reimagined again and again. \nArvo Pärt’s haunting tribute to Benjamin Britten takes us to 1977 and opens a programme shaped by reflection and remembrance. Britten\, Shostakovich and Vaughan Williams offer very different responses to conflict – sometimes questioning\, sometimes hopeful – showing how composers use music to process the world around them. \nAgata Daraškaitė (violin) and Elitsa Bogdanova (viola)
