This is the final concert of the Enescu Society.

The Plush Ensemble is a flexible collective of fifteen international musicians who formed at Plush in 2001. The Ensemble is committed to performing new programmes at the highest level, contrasting chamber music works with the most interesting music of the avant-garde. Previous programmes include Beethoven and Schubert quartets paired with modern works by Ligeti, Birtwistle and Kurtag. Expect to be challenged by the group’s infectious energy and original interpretations.

The Plush Ensemble on stage at the Romanian Cultural Institute for the Enescu Society concert are: Remus Azoitei, Simon Blendis, Corinne Chapelle, Ruth Rogers – violins; Sue Knight, Tobias Breider – violas; Adrian Brendel, Pierre Doumenge – celli; Tim Horton – piano.
