Music in the Round is the largest promoter of chamber music outside London. We take our unique, informal and informative style of performance to numerous venues around the country as well as presenting two concert series and an annual May Festival in Sheffield at our home venue, the Crucible Studio. Excellence and access are central to all we do; our concerts are, wherever possible, played in the round, they feature lively spoken introductions, sometimes pre-concert talks and post-concert opportunities to meet musicians. Our resident group Ensemble 360 is a group of dynamic, world-class musicians selected for their good communication skills as well as for their highly accomplished musicianship. The musicians of Ensemble 360 are at the heart of our innovative learning & participation programme, Music in the Community, delivering activities for all ages and levels of ability.
