C SCHUMANN (arr. Tress) Three Romances (10’)
MOZART String Quartet in C ‘Dissonance’ (22’)
SCHUBERT String Quartet No.13 ‘Rosamunde’ (30’) 

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.

“This was ‘serious’ music-making – concentrated, thoughtful, carefully considered – but the Quartet’s interpretations were fresh and personal, and the playing relaxed and warm.”

About the Artists

Consone Quartet

The first period instrument string quartet to be selected as BBC New Generation Artists, the Consone Quartet are fast making a name for themselves with their honest and expressive interpretations of classical and romantic repertoire. Music in the Round is delighted to welcome the Quartet to ‘the family’ as our Visiting Quartet. Supported by the Frost Trust, they visit schools across the city, working in partnership with Sheffield Music Hub and performing at concerts promoted by us around the country.

Formed at the Royal College of Music in London, the Consone Quartet launched their professional career in 2015, shortly after which they were awarded two prizes at the 2015 York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, including the EUBO Development Trust Prize and a place on the EEEmerging Scheme in France. They went on to win the 2016 Royal Over-Seas League Ensemble Prize, and in 2022 were awarded a prestigious Borletti-Buitoni Trust (BBT) fellowship. Read their full biography here.
