  • Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama: Cardiff

    Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama North Road, Cardiff, Wales

    Ensemble 360 and Claire Booth, who have forged a dynamic partnership through their performances of Schoenberg’s Pierrot Lunaire together, now turn their attention to Berio’s quirky and intriguing Folk Songs in the composer’s centenary year. Indeed, folk influences pervade the whole programme, from Rebecca Clarke’s pastoral-tinged duo for clarinet and viola and Katherine Hoover’s evocation of the Hopi people to Ravel’s sultry, sun-drenched pictures of Madagascar.

    A preconcert thread of Berio Sequenzas sets the scene…..

    Join members of Ensemble 360 in the Carne Foyer at 6pm for a pre-concert performance of Luciano Berio’s Sequenzas:

    Come and join the Tippett Quartet for a wonderful season finale exploring the Golden Age of cinema past and present.

    They bring their unique recording experience and expertise to celebrate the incredible genius of Bernard Herrmann, who died 50 years ago this month, with his Clarinet Quintet and their bespoke arrangement of the infamous “Psycho” film score alongside the iconic sounds of Korngold, Rózsa and Jerome Kern. It promises to tell a story of sound, colour, lush harmonies and striking melodies. They will also feature a brand new arrangement of Gershwin’s Three Preludes by Callum Au and being the featured quartet in the Knives Out films, they will perform these pieces for the first time in concert bringing us right up to date!

    The quartet will be joined by star clarinetist Robert Plane. A Gramophone Award winner and passionate advocate for British clarinet music, Robert has enjoyed a distinguished solo, chamber and orchestral career, performing worldwide, premiering major new works and serving as Head of Woodwind Performance at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama.
