Esme Greenwood

Sheffield Chamber Orchestra

We are joined by Esme Greenwood as the centrepiece in our Spring concert to play Bruch’s Violin Concerto. From Sheffield, Esme started learning the violin at the age of 6, and is a precocious talent. Currently studying at the Junior Royal Northern College of Music she won her first competition two years ago when aged only 12. Not only a budding soloist, she also enjoys orchestral and chamber music, recently becoming one of the youngest players to be awarded a place in the National Youth Orchestra, which sees her performing in some of the country’s major concert venues including the Barbican, Birmingham Symphony Hall and the Royal Albert Hall.

Great Classical Masterpieces 2026

All Saints Ecclesall

Unusually we’re playing just the one piece for our season ending concert this year, but what a piece of music it is — Haydn’s Creation!

“The Creation” is an oratorio written by Joseph Haydn in 1797 and 1798, and considered by many to be one of his masterpieces. It depicts and celebrates the creation of the world as narrated in the Book of Genesis and is scored for soprano, tenor and bass soloists, chorus and orchestra. Altogether this musical feast is around 2 hours long.
