Ensemble project consonari was founded in 2019 by violinist Anna Larson and pianist Dr. Kaden Larson while studying at Indiana University. Their goal is to create opportunities to share the joys of music with others in an open collaboration project. consonari is a sponsored ensemble of Collaborative Musicians' Project, Inc., an organization that promotes innovative chamber ensemble performance and education. As a sponsored ensemble, consonari coaches and performs side-by-side with members of the Youth Ensemble Program, and gives performances and workshops in K-12 schools.

consonari prioritizes programming contemporary music and lesser-known works from any era, especially those by under-represented composers. This includes a recent world premiere of George N. Gianopolous' Introduction, Allegro, and Grand Romance, Op. 13b.

They have performed as guest artists at Brigham Young University, Brigham Young University-Idaho, and at the Helen Elbert Collaborative Music Festival. consonari has been recognized in multiple competitions, including receiving a Distinguished Gold Medal at the 2023 Virtuoso Artists Festival hosted by the Seattle International Piano Festival and First Prize in the 2022 International Clara Schumann Competition.
