Its sound is created by the player moistening their fingers with water and gently touching the glass bowls rotating on a horizontal spindle.  \nMusic from Mozart’s friends include a sonata full of wit\, virtuosity\, and graceful charm by Joseph Bologne\, a swordsman and pioneering composer who was\, briefly\, Mozart’s neighbour in Paris; and a bright\, elegant quintet by Franz Xaver Süssmayr\, who famously completed Mozart’s unfinished Requiem following the composer’s death.

SUMMARY:CHRIS ADDISON’S INCOMPLETE GUIDE TO CHAMBER MUSIC
DESCRIPTION:Chris Addison (The Thick of It\, Mock the Week) joins Music in the Round and Ensemble 360 to bring his infectious enthusiasm for classical music to the Crucible.   \nTelling 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.   \nDiscover 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.  \nProgramme includes excerpts from:\nCORELLI Trio Sonata de Camera in G minor\nJS BACH Trio Sonata in G\nHAYDN String Quartet Op.76 No.3\nMOZART ‘Kegelstatt Trio’\nBEETHOVEN Quintet for Piano and Wind\nF MENDELSSOHN Piano Trio in D minor\nHIGDON Piano Trio

SUMMARY:THE MONSTER IN THE MAZE Music-Makers of Sheffield including\, Ensemble 360\, Consone Quartet\, Bridge Ensemble & Guests
DESCRIPTION:An opera production for the people of Sheffield and with the people of Sheffield. \n“Here they are – the children of Athens!\nThe hope of Athens\, the future of Athens!\nDeep in the maze\, the monster\, already\npaws the sand and tosses his horns…” \n      - libretto\, Monster in the Maze \nKing Minos has a labyrinth in his palace. Inside there lurks a Minotaur. This monster\, half man and half bull\, feeds on human flesh.  \nMinos decrees that the Athenians should provide a regular supply of their young people to be sacrificed to the monster.
