This season the Nash Ensemble celebrates a remarkable 50 years since giving its first concert in October 1964. It is currently Chamber Ensemble in Residence at Wigmore Hall and is regarded as a standard-bearer of British music-making around the world. To mark this achievement, its founding artistic director, Amelia Freedman, has devised a 50th Anniversary Series consisting of programmes the group has performed to great acclaim over the last half century. The ensemble will be reunited with some of the outstanding singers with whom it has collaborated throughout the years, whilst the series will be complemented by free early evening events which will include some of the 300 works (193 of them Nash commissions) premièred during the last five decades. The ensemble will also characteristically present new commissions in its annual Nash Inventions concert.
