An evening of Romantic elegance with one of Britain’s finest quartets
Experience a richly expressive night of chamber music as the acclaimed Consone Quartet return to Sheffield’s Playhouse with Romantic String Quartets — a programme blending Classical innovation with Romantic warmth and lyricism.
Described as “top-notch” by AllMusic, the Consone Quartet has won numerous major prizes and made history as the first period-instrument string quartet selected as BBC New Generation Artists. As Music in the Round Sheffield’s Visiting Quartet, they are fast building a devoted following among Sheffield audiences.
The programme
The evening brings together three contrasting masterpieces that chart a journey through intimacy, invention, and emotional depth:
Clara Schumann – Three Romances (arr. Tress) Originally written for violin and piano, these lyrical miniatures are reimagined here in a lush and sensitive string quartet arrangement.
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart – String Quartet in C major, “Dissonance” Famous for its startlingly modern introduction, this quartet unfolds into music of elegance, vitality, and bold harmonic thinking.
Franz Schubert – String Quartet No.13 in A minor, “Rosamunde” Lyrical, poignant, and radiant, Schubert’s beloved quartet weaves memorable melodies through moments of tender melancholy and joyful release.
Together, these works promise an immersive and emotionally rewarding concert — ideal for seasoned chamber music fans and newcomers alike.
