London Concertante

 

The Uckfield Music Club was very fortunate to be awarded a grant by Making Music, which enabled it to engage this superb chamber orchestra for the Uckfield Festival. The Concertante bring an octet comprising string quartet, double bass, clarinet, horn, and bassoon.

Schubert Octet in F Major D 803

 

With an array of critical acclaim, stunning recordings on prestigious labels like Chandos and Harmonia Mundi, and performances throughout the UK and Europe, the London Concertante, led by Adam Summerhayes, is at the forefront of great classical ensembles.

 

‘Drum tight. This is superb chamber playing.’  - so said the Scotsman.  

"A riveting, dramatic, even sexy listen ... London Concertante demonstrates extraordinary versatility for a classical ensemble, with a sound that would feel as appropriate in a smoky jazz bar or Argentine tango club as it would in a concert hall. A dramatic performance of feather-light virtuosity that is so tightly together that it would feel inhuman if there weren’t so much soul in the playing. Bravo."     - BBC Online
