Consone Quartet

On the Wings of a Song

with Helen Charlston

**Helen Charlston** (mezzo-soprano)
On the Wings of a Song
Clara Schumann Sechs Lieder, op. 13
1. Ich stand in dunkeln Träumen
2. Sie liebten sich beide
3. Liebeszauber
4. Der Mond kommt still gegangen
5. Ich hab’ in deinem Auge
6. Die stille Lotosblume

Felix Mendelssohn String Quartet No.6 in F minor
Felix Mendelssohn Die Liebende Schreibt
Felix Mendelssohn Auf Flügeln des Gesanges
Fanny Mendelssohn Die Mainacht
Robert Schumann Frauenliebe und -leben
1. Seit ich ihn gesehen
2. Er, der Herrlichste von allen
3. Ich kann's nicht fassen, nicht glauben
4. Du Ring an meinem Finger
5. Helft mir, ihr Schwestern
6. Süßer Freund, du blickest mich verwundert an
7. An meinem Herzen, an meiner Brust
8. Nun has du mir den ersten schmerz getan


Former BBC New Generation Artists mezzo soprano Helen Charlston & Consone Quartet come together for an evening of storytelling, celebrating chamber music making in all its glory.

As we journey through the intimate world of song, let Robert Schumann’s beguiling Frauenliebe und -leben, Clara Schumann’s evocative Op.13 and songs by Felix & Fanny Mendelssohn whisk you into a world of romanticism. Presented in new arrangements for Period String Quartet and Voice (rather than voice and piano as one might expect) the intimacy and directness of chamber music is the centre of this story, transporting us all to a new world of life and love.

‘On the wings of a song,

I’ll carry you, my love, away,

Away…’ (Heinrich Heine)
