The Schubert Ensemble, which celebrates its 30th Anniversary in 2013, has established itself as one of the world’s leading exponents of music for piano and strings. Regularly giving over 50 concerts a year, the Ensemble has performed in over 40 different countries. It has over 80 commissions to its name, has recorded over 30 critically acclaimed CDs, and is familiar to British audiences through regular broadcasts on BBC Radio 3. In 1998 the Ensemble’s contribution to British musical life was recognized by the Royal Philharmonic Society when it presented the group with the Best Chamber Ensemble Award, for which it was shortlisted again in 2010.
PRSF are supporting The Schubert Ensemble’s programme of performances of contemporary music in the UK during 2013 (the Ensemble’s 30th Anniversary Year), featuring two new commissions, by Edward Rushton and Colin Matthews, and further performances of a Piano Quartet by Huw Watkins written for the Ensemble in 2011.
