Music in the Round 2012 Barnsley Concerts - Ensemble 360

The Razor is the most innovative of Haydn's Op 55 string quartets, a gentle yet lively work. It is curious nickname comes from a theory that the composer wrote the piece in exchamne for a pair of razors.

Till Eulenspiegel is a mischievous character from German folklore. In this piece Strauss beautifully illustrates the humour and drama of the situations in which the impudent trickster finds himself.

Beethoven represented the popularity of his Septet because he felt there were other pieces more worthy of the public's affection yet it is easy to hear why audiences love it so much; it is a joyful piece full of memorable tunes.

Please note that our concerts are at Emmanuel Methodist Church but booking is via the Barnsley Civic.
