Try D'Addario classical wound with a diameter of .026w. I've used that on concerts and it works well. That is, if you don't mind a wound string.
 
I'm quite interested in this as well. I agree with davidrboy that the 504R might be a bit low tension. I have this on a tenor and it feels just right for tension. It would be significantly lower tension on the 15" scale, so I can't imagine I'd be happy with it on my concert. I'm considering testing the 504J, which is the high tension Corum "D" string. String diameter on the 504J is increased to 0.0299", where the 504R is 0.0287". That might be just enough to work well on a concert.
