We are delighted to have been selected as Continuo Foundation Grant recipients once again, amongst a number of wonderful ensembles!

​

This will enable us to take a programme of Brahms and Schoenberg sextets on the road this coming August and September. We will be joined by Francesca Gilbert on viola and Alexander Rolton on cello. 

​

Huge thanks to Continuo Foundation and more about the events soon on our diary page and on Continuo Connect.

Our latest and shiniest CD is now available on all streaming platforms, as well as at our concerts! 

​

We had so much fun recording with the inimitable Kate Bennett Wadsworth, cello, whose brilliant arrangement of Robert Schumann's Cello Concerto, for cello and string quartet, is at the heart of this album. You will also find a wonderful string quintet arrangement of Beethoven's Sonata for Piano and Cello, Op. 5, No. 1, by his student Ferdinand Ries.

We have completed the first year of our residency as Music in the Round's 'Visiting Quartet', working with communities in and around Sheffield.

 

Our biggest 2024 highlight was a community production of Jonathan Dove's opera, Monster in the Maze at Sheffield's Crucible Theatre, working with a number of talented young people (read review). We are hugely looking forward to more exciting activities in 2025! 

​

 

We are pleased to announce that we have been appointed as Saxon Shore Early Music Kenardington Artists-in-Residence for 2024-2027, culminating in the 2026-2027 season with a concert on Friday, 26th March, the 200th anniversary of Beethoven’s death.
