Programme Note
Written forty years apart, the last of Mozart's string quartets joins the first of Mendelssohn's for a taster of classical and early romantic string quartet repertoire.
The last "Prussian" quartet shows Mozart's exuberant writing even in the final year of his life, whilst Mendelssohn's first published quartet was heavily inspired by the late quartet style of Beethoven, who had passed away just two years before.
Winners of the EUBO Development Trust Prize at the 2015 York Early Music International Young Artists Competition, the Consone Quartet make a welcome return to Yorkshire with these two masterworks from the string quartet repertory.
