SUMMARY:CHARLIE CHAPLIN - THE GOLD RUSH: Ensemble 360 & George Morton
DESCRIPTION:Silent film with live music\nCHAPLIN (arr. Timothy Brock) The Gold Rush (85’) \nCharlie Chaplin’s most ambitious and successful silent comedy is presented in a gorgeous restoration with Chaplin’s own Academy Award-nominated score performed live by Ensemble 360 and friends\, conducted by George Morton. \nThe Gold Rush follows two hapless prospectors in search of fortune during the Klondike gold rush. It features everything that made Chaplin’s name across the globe: acrobatic slapstick\, poignant romance\, high-octane dance and dazzling stunts. The iconic film combines riotous comedy and piercing social insight as Chaplin’s most celebrated on-screen character “the little tramp” walks the tightrope between humour and tragedy. \nPacked with some of the most memorable moments from Chaplin’s films\, including a dancing dinner rolls routine and a meal of a boiled shoe\, combined with unprecedented technical marvels such as a cabin teetering on a cliff edge\, this timeless classic was\, in Chaplin’s own words\, “the picture that I want to be remembered by”. \nFollowing two previous sold-out Music in the Round concerts featuring live music with silent film\, Saint Saëns’ L’assasinat de duc de Guise (1908) and Edmund Meisel’s Battleship Potemkin (1925)\, Ensemble 360 and George Morton return for their most ambitious and large-scale collaboration yet.

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:SOUNDS OF NOW - SAXOPHONE & ELECTRONICS: David Zucchi & Robert Laidlow
DESCRIPTION:TENNEY Saxony (25’)\nTASSIE O Suns – O Grass of Graves world premiere (10’)\nLAIDLOW Content (30’)\nZUCCHI/LAIDLOW Interfaces Improvisation (15’) \nPraised for his “urgently visceral” playing (Tempo)\, London-based Canadian saxophonist David Zucchi performs a programme of innovative works for saxophone and live electronics. James Tenney’s groundbreaking Saxony (1978) sees a shimmering wall of sound built from tape delay and saxophones of every size\, while Benjamin Tassie’s new work\, O Suns – O Grass of Graves\, explores the fragile sound world of the saxophone’s delicately unstable multiphonics.  \nThe second half showcases Zucchi’s recent collaborations with composer and creative technologist Robert Laidlow. Content translates the internet’s overwhelming abundance (memes\, infinite-scroll feeds\, push notifications) in a raucous concert work for saxophone and electronics\, while Interfaces Improvisation sees Laidlow perform alongside Zucchi using his tactile new electronic instrument\, a ‘stacco’\, which uses live AI to melt timbres together and control live-processed sound.

SUMMARY:CHOPIN NOCTURNES: Pavel Kolesnikov
DESCRIPTION:“Chopin by a pianist whose name is rapidly becoming synonymous with searching originality\, rhetorical aptness and kinaesthetic authority… Kolesnikov\, always eager for the deep dive\, here resurfaces with rare pearls of perfect proportion and lustre from the long-picked-over beds of Chopin interpretation” Gramophone on Pavel Kolesnikov \nCHOPIN Complete Nocturnes \nDescribed by Bachtrack as “a poet of the piano”\, Pavel Kolesnikov is one of the world’s most exciting young pianists.

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.
