Sheffield, MA - Local Guide to the Town

Times: Open everyday Mon - Sat 10am - 5pm and Sun 11am - 5pm.

The Big Bug Show is a free, family-friendly, exhibition teeming with tiny - and not so tiny - insect life.

Meet live snails, millipedes and stick insects face to face and see both beautiful and beastly creatures from Museums Sheffield's natural history collections. You can get up close and personal with the miniature cast of award-winning film Microcosmos and super-size local critters using our zoom macroscope. We've even carpeted the entire gallery with green astroturf so you can crash out in comfort and watch the film. Mini visitors will love playing in our 'Creep and Crawl' area and bigger kids can design their own super powered bugs in a brand new interactive game.

When you're all bugged out, our shop and caf� will be waiting to serve you a selection of buglicious treats, including dung beetle balls, spooky spider jelly and real bug lollipops!

Marie Macleod & Tim Horton

Marie and Tim perform a twenty-first century work alongside a classic piece from the cello and piano repertoire.

Marie and Tim return to the music of Huw Watkins with his sonata for cello and piano, following Ensemble 360?s national tour of Broken Consort, commissioned by Music in the Round. This dramatic piece was premiered in 2001 by the composer?s brother, cellist Paul Watkins, whom we will hear later in the series as part of the Ludwig String Trio.

Rachmaninov?s passionate sonata is a favourite in the genre, loved by audiences around the world.

J S Bach - Cantatas

60 years ago Sheffield Bach Society was founded by Prof. Deas, Head of the department of Music at the University of Sheffield, following a series of lectures to mark the bicentenary of Bach's death. The choir's first conductor was Norman Barnes, MBE, followed by Dr Roger Bullivant, MBE, who remained in the post until 2000. Under Roger, the choir quickly acquired a reputation for enterprise and excellence, contained by Peter Collis, who retired earlier this year.

Dr Simon Lindley, our new conductor, is Organist of Leeds Parish Church and of Leeds Town Hall, which involves him, among other things, in weekly lunchtime organ recitals. At the City's historic famous Parish Church his duties include the direction of its world renowned Choir. He is also Music Director of St Peter's Singers, one of the North of England's leading Chamber Choirs. President of the Royal College of Organists from 2000-2003 and of the Incorporated Association of Organists from 2003-2005, Simon is also Secretary of the Church Music Society, a position held since 1991. In 2008 he was appointed President of the Campaign for the Traditional Cathedral Choir. As a choral conductor, his work is to be heard on many recordings and broadcasts.

Ensemble 360 Desert Island Concert - The Chairmen

As a special Desert Island Concert, Music in the Round?s current and previous Chairmen Paul Allen and David Megginson hand over their all-time favourite pieces to Ensemble 360.

Ligeti's bagatelles are delightful and accessible miniatures which explore the many colours and textures of the wind quintet. They allow opportunities for virtuoso performances by our magnificent wind players. Syrinx reminds me of the arrival of the Ensemble and in particular how the wind players occupied a new space in our musical consciousness.

Boyish games with small animals inspired the mini-masterpiece that is Jan�cek?s concertino, but there?s nothing sweet about it: that opening rising piano tune represents a desperate hedgehog whose nest has been blocked. Is the clarinet flirting with the strings in Mozart?s clarinet quintet ? sometimes one of the gang, sometimes soaring teasingly ahead? Passionate longing and spring-heeled invention: tailor-made for the supremely expressive Matthew Hunt.
