It is impossible to imagine that the Erringden Ensemble will do anything but play beautiful music – beautifully.

After all, the ensemble is named after a beautiful area close to Hebden Bridge where the founder members live and the inaugural concert took place.

It was formed in 2009 by cellist Helen Thatcher and viola player David Aspin who bring to the group a passion for chamber music with a wealth of experience on the national and international stage.

Around them they have gathered together equally exciting and hugely talented musicians all working in the area.

The musicians are so flexible and so skilled that it means any combination is possible from a string trio to an octet and can include wind instruments and piano.

This wonderful group of musicians will be in Huddersfield on Monday (December 2, 7.30pm) to continue to weave the magic which so far has enveloped all the Huddersfield Music Society concerts this season.

The Erringden Ensemble will play at St Paul’s Hall as part of the delightful chamber music concerts.

Its programme is expected to include Souvenir de Florence by Tchaikovsky, Capriccio by Strauss and the Brahms Sextet in B Flat Major.

The entire ensemble includes such names as Paul Barritt, permanent guest leader of the Halle Orchestra, violinist Bradley Creswick  who has a long association with the Royal Northern Sinfonia going back to 1984 when he was first appointed leader and another notable violin player, Ronald Birks. In 1971 he was invited to become second violin of the Lindsay String Quartet, with whom he remained until the quartet’s retirement in 2005.

Violinist Catherine Yates spent nearly 20 years as second violinist of the Sorrel Quartet and is currently principal second violin in a rather larger body of people, the Halle Orchestra.

James Dickenson, also a violin specialist, returned to the UK six years ago to continue his chamber music career both teaching and performing. He spent many years in the USA leading the Degas Quartet.

Susan Voss has held first violin posts with the Sadlers' Wells Royal Ballet Orchestra, BBC Radio Orchestra (London) and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales.

Since moving north, Susan has pursued a freelance career with the Halle Orchestra and also the BBC Philharmonic, Opera North, Manchester Concert Orchestra, Lancashire Sinfonietta, RLPO and CBSO.

Viola player David Aspin is a familiar performer in Huddersfield both as a soloist and as principal viola with the Orchestra of Opera North.

He is also a member of Psappha; the North-West’s leading contemporary group which is resident at the University of Manchester.

Helen Thatcher, teaches at the University of Huddersfield and gives regular masterclasses at the Royal Academy of Music. Helen chose to start playing the cello at the age of seven because it was bigger than anything her brother or sister played.

In 1987 she formed the Sorrel Quartet whilst at college at the Royal Northern College of Music. More recently, she and David Aspin created the Erringden ensemble: a versatile ensemble made-up of experienced chamber players.

Also part of the Erringden Ensemble are Louise Williams (viola), Hannah Roberts, seen as one of the outstanding cellists of her generation, Sarah Brandwood-Spencer (violin) and Chris Hoyle (cello).

You will hear some of this leading group of players at this Huddersfield Music Society concert at St Paul’s. Tickets on the door.
