Sunday Concerts:
Berkeley Ensemble & Simon Callaghan

The Berkeley Ensemble join forces with Conway Hall’s Director of Music, Simon Callaghan, to play two of the most-loved works for clarinet trio. Their programme concludes with a true ‘party piece’, Dohnányi’s Sextet for clarinet, horn, strings and piano – a truly exuberant way to close our autumn series of concerts at Conway Hall.

“The high quality of the performances by the Berkeley Ensemble, a malleable group which, like the Nash Ensemble, can adapt itself to different formats and plays as if it were truly inside the music… Well worth a listen.”
Geoffrey Norris, Sunday Telegraph

About the Sunday Concerts

Founded in the 1880s, our chamber music concert series is the longest-running of its kind in Europe. Conway Hall was purpose-built in 1929 to host concerts and lectures, and they have continued here until the present day. The ethos of “affordable classical music for all” still remains.
