The Consone String Quartet is launching a new on-line concert series, title Barnstorming! The concerts will be filmed in beautiful barns across the UK, with the idea that the series would utilise new concert settings without a reliance on in person audiences.
The first concert in the series is on OnJam.tv on 1 July 2021, filmed at the Barn at Willards Farm, Dunsfold. The quartet will be joined by with cellist Alexander Rolton for Beethoven's Sonata for piano and cello, op. 5/1 in F major in an arrangement for string quintet by his pupil Ferdinand Ries and String Quintet in C minor, op. 38 'The Bullet by George Onslow (1784-1853), a French composer of English descent.
