THIS WEEK: 🎫 MENDELSSOHN STRING QUARTETS Consone Quartet 🗓️ Sat 15 March, 3pm 📍 Cathedral Church of St Marie, Sheffield Music in the Round’s Visiting String Quartet returns to Sheffield for its final immersive afternoon and evening of concerts exploring the music of Felix Mendelssohn. Here, the composer’s passionate String Quartet No.1 (written when he was just 18 years old – and newly in love) is presented alongside his String Quartet No.3, a composition full of light and levity. 🎫 MENDELSSOHN STRING QUINTET Consone Quartet and Kay Stephen 🗓️ Sat 15 March, 3pm 📍 Cathedral Church of St Marie, Sheffield The Consone Quartet completes its series of Mendelssohn’s chamber works with his String Quintet No.1, a work full of youthful joie de vivre. Scored for two violins, two violas, and cello, the Quintet forms the triumphant conclusion to this concert celebrating the composer’s early work for strings, all composed when Mendelssohn was – astonishingly – still a teenager.
