HELLENSMUSIC host the internationally acclaimed Schubert Ensemble on Friday, January 30, at the Great Barn, Hellens Manor, Much Marcle.
Since its first concert in January 1983 the Schubert Ensemble has established itself as one of the world's leading exponents of music for piano and strings. Regularly giving around 50 concerts a year, the ensemble, familiar to British audiences through regular broadcasts on BBC Radio 3, has performed in more than 40 different countries and recorded more than 30 critically acclaimed CDs. In 1998 the Ensemble's contribution to British musical life was recognized by the Royal Philharmonic Society when it presented the group with the Best Chamber Ensemble Award, for which it was shortlisted again in 2010.
The Ensemble are Simon Blendis, violin, Douglas Paterson, viola, Jane Salmon, cello and William Howard, piano
In the past few years the Ensemble has enjoyed a busy international schedule, with performances in the Czech Republic, Romania, Norway, Gibraltar, Spain, Holland, Canada and the USA as well as first visits to China, Bermuda and the United Arab Emirates. In 2015 they will return to Bermuda, the USA, Holland, Italy and China and perform two Schumann/Fauré concerts at Wigmore Hall.
The programme for the performance at Hellens is Beethoven's Allegretto for Piano Trio in B flat WoO 39, Chausson - Piano Quartet in A major, and Dvorak's Piano Quartet, No 2.
