To mark the anniversary, its founder and Artistic Director Amelia Freedman has devised a series comprising some of the group’s favourite works of the genre.

Stimulating programmes, superb artists and a commitment to the finest composers of our time through extensive commissioning lie at the heart of each series. Each year the Nash has found new themes and ideas which surprise audiences, creating a platform on which to present the new and unusual alongside the well-known, producing concerts that are an indispensable part of London’s musical life. This season is no exception and for this special occasion the ensemble has commissioned eight composers with whom the group has had a long association to write celebratory pieces, continuing a musical legacy for generations to come.
