Beethoven & Friends

Beethoven’s creative world is brought vividly to life through music and storytelling.

Pieces by Beethoven and his friends, personally chosen by the Consone Quartet, are interspersed with historical detail, as told by Katy Hamilton, one of the most sought-after speakers and writers on music. She provides a human insight into the lives of these exceptional composers and their music.

This promises to be a captivating concert by one of the most rigorous and approachable quartets playing today, who have already been taken to heart by Sheffield audiences through their regular appearances with Music in the Round.
