The Consone Quartet completes its series of Mendelssohn’s chamber works with his String Quintet No.1, a work full of youthful joie de vivre. Scored for two violins, two violas, and cello, the Quintet forms the triumphant conclusion to this concert celebrating the composer’s early work for strings, all composed when Mendelssohn was – astonishingly – still a teenager.
