Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective
Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective with Matthew Rose - tickets to individual concerts - Brahms & Beyond
- The Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective features many of today’s most inspirational musicians, six of whom join us for a weekend centred around the music of the great Johannes Brahms.
- Armand Djikoloum (oboe), Elena Urioste (violin), Rosalind Ventris (viola), Laura van der Heijden (cello), Tom Poster (piano), Matthew Rose (bass).
The Kaleidoscope Chamber Collective has been hailed for its ‘exhilarating performances’ (The Times), and was dreamed up in 2017 by Tom Poster and Elena Urioste, who met through the BBC New Generation Artists Scheme. Its flexible roster today includes some of the UK’s most inspirational musicians, six of whom join us for the weekend.
Among many achievements and accolades, the ensemble has been Associate Ensemble at Wigmore Hall since 2020 and its numerous appearances there have included giving the Hall’s 120th birthday concert in May 2021. It is an ensemble-in-residence at the Aldburgh and Cheltenham festivals among others, and the group’s recordings have received glowing reviews, and have been nominated for BBC Music Magazine and Gramophone awards.
The programme for the weekend is centred around the music of Johannes Brahms. In addition to three of the composer’s own major works, music by earlier composers that he revered (Mozart and Schubert) and by those from his closest personal circle (Robert and Clara Schumann, Dvořák) is included – along with compositions by a number of his associates and contemporaries who deserve to be far better known.
