The Ensemble 360 musicians, who are residents with Music in the Round
and regularly appear in concerts in their Crucible Playhouse home, have

been nominated in the Ensemble category of the Royal Philharmonic Society

(RPS) Awards 2023.

Billed by BBC Radio 3 as the ‘BAFTAs of classical music’, the awards

celebrate classical musicians nationwide, shining a light on brilliant
individuals, groups and initiatives inspiring communities across the UK.

Ensemble 360 were commended by the RPS for the outstanding quality and
scope of their performances. They were praised for being “a national

ensemble embedded in the Sheffield community and a thriving example of

the transformative ways music can serve its local area. They equally channel
their excellence and artistry into community partnerships and resounding

concerts.” They sit alongside Manchester Collective and BBC Singers in the

Ensemble category, which is supported by Wise Music Group in its 50th
anniversary year.
