Purcell, Haydn, Leith and Schumann Quartets

Celebrating their 10th anniversary in 2025, the multi-award winning Consone Quartet bring us a never-before-heard programme of music by composers who themselves drew inspiration from composers of previous generations. The performance includes the premiere of a new String Quartet by Oliver Leith, co-commissioned by Spitalfields Music, based on the chaconne, a mesmeric 16th century dance.
