MENDELSSOHN OCTET Ensemble 360 & Consone Quartet

Music in the Round's day of Mendelssohn concludes with the Consone Quartet joining forces with the string players of Ensemble 360 for the composer’s eloquent and warm Octet, full of gusto and joyful invention.

Music in the Round’s new Visiting String Quartet, the Consone Quartet, made their spellbinding Sheffield debut with a rapturously received celebration of the quartets of Fanny and Felix Mendelssohn in spring 2024.

They return to Sheffield this autumn for an immersive afternoon and evening exploring more of Felix Mendelssohn’s quartets.

To conclude the day, the Consone Quartet joins forces with the string players of Ensemble 360 for the composer’s eloquent and warm Octet, full of gusto and joyful invention.
