Concert Details

To mark the 150th anniversary of the birth of Danish composer Carl Nielsen, we welcome one of Denmark’s most eminent chamber groups, Ensemble MidtVest. As well as Nielsen’s wind quintet, the ensemble performs some wonderful music by Julius Röntgen – perhaps a new name for some: born in Leipzig in 1855, his late nineteenth-century voice is full of the warmth and lyricism of Brahms and his German contemporaries. Ensemble MidtVest complete their programme with Beethoven’s ever-popular ‘Gassenhauer’ trio, and the passionate piano trio by Czech romantic master Bedřich Smetana.
