The “top-notch” (Allmusic) Consone Quartet has won numerous illustrious prizes, was the first period instrument quartet to be selected as BBC New Generation Artists and is rapidly building a following as Music in the Round’s Visiting Quartet.
This promises to be a captivating programme of music including Clara Schumann’s ‘Three Romances’ in a lush string quartet arrangement. Mozart’s striking ‘Dissonance’ Quartet, with its innovative opening, unfolds into the composer’s signature elegance and vitality. Schubert’s lyrical ‘Rosamunde’ Quartet concludes the evening, with its lush melodic themes woven through moments of tender melancholy and exuberant joy.
