羅曼四重奏以香港獨有的盧文氏樹蛙命名，成員為現時飛躍演奏香港的駐團四重奏，在2013年初首演後瞬即成為活躍於本港及海外的室內樂組合。而於2019年東京薩爾斯堡莫扎特室樂國際比賽中勇奪冠軍，現任香港中文大學音樂系駐校四重奏的CONG 四重奏，則於2015年在美國組成，他們以四名創團成員的姓氏和Hong “KONG”的諧音命名。兩隊名字不約而同地富有香港特色的四重奏組合致力推動屬於亞洲和香港的室樂作品，並嘗試拉近室內樂和觀眾日常生活的距離。
羅曼及CONG 四重奏分別會在一連兩場的音樂會中為大家演奏捷克作曲家舒洛夫的《第二弦樂四重奏》，美國近代作曲家的四重奏小品《共識》，以及蕭斯達高維契充滿對戰爭反思的《F大調第三號弦樂四重奏》。 兩隊四重奏亦會聯手為大家送上膾炙人口的孟德爾遜《降E大調弦樂八重奏》，以及委約香港作曲家鄧慧中為此音樂會創作的雙四重奏作品《疊影》。

Currently the Quartet in Residence of Premiere Performances of Hong Kong and formed by four musicians all born and raised in Hong Kong, the Romer Quartet was named after the Romer's Tree Frog, endemic to Hong Kong. The quartet has been recognised locally and abroad as one of the most active string quartets in town since its debut in 2013. Cong Quartet, the first place and Grand Prize winner of the 2019 Salzburg Mozart International Chamber Competition in Tokyo and the current Ensemble-in-Residence of the Chinese University of Hong Kong, was named after their founding members’ last names which also alludes to Hong “Kong”, where they grew up and played together before the Quartet was officially formed in the United States in 2015. Both quartets have a name emphasising their Hong Kong identity, and they also share the philosophy of promoting Asia and Hong Kong’s own chamber repertoire, as well as integrating chamber music into the daily lives of the audience.
In these two concerts, the Romer and Cong Quartet will perform the second quartet by Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff, Consensus for String Quartet by American composer Lawrence Dillon, and Shostakovich’s powerful third String Quartet in F respectively. They will also join together to perform the famous Mendelssohn String Octet, as well as giving the premiere of a commissioned piece for double string quartets, Double Exposure, by Hong Kong Composer Joyce Tang.
