Consone Quartet presents a masterclass featuring students from the NEC Chamber Music program.
The first period instrument string quartet to be selected as BBC New Generation Artists, the Consone Quartet are known for their honest and expressive interpretations of repertoire, notably from the classical and romantic eras.
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, 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 fellowship. Since 2021 the quartet has been awarded a number of grants from Continuo Foundation which have enabled the group to take creative programs to locations across the UK. Continue reading...
