Ensemble 360

Join Ensemble 360 for a trip to the Chatsworth Estate in the Peak District to celebrate the music of a musical genius and the magnificence of the local countryside, churches…and tea!

The inspiration for our event lies in the willingness of the 20-year old J.S. Bach to walk some 250 miles in 1705 to hear Buxtehude play the organ. Our plan is more modest as we invite you to walk between two beautiful churches to hear supreme examples of solo instrumental music.

Or if you prefer, you may join us for just the final performance of the afternoon featuring sections of Bach’s monumental Art of Fugue and solo violin music in the glorious setting of Edensor Church.
