Biography

Since its founding in 1972, The Toronto Consort has become internationally recognized for its excellence in the performance of medieval, renaissance and early baroque music. Led by a collective of Artistic Associates, ten of Canada’s leading early music specialists have come together to form The Toronto Consort whose members include both singers and instrumentalists (lute, recorder, guitar, flute, early keyboards and percussion). Our concerts and recordings explore rarely-heard repertoire. We often work in collaboration with other artists, such as actors, dancers and visual artists, to produce concerts with dramatic and visual elements which in many instances provide an historical context for our music. Each year The Toronto Consort offers a subscription series in Toronto, presented in the beautiful acoustic of the recently-renovated 700-seat Jeanne Lamon Hall, at the Trinity-St. Paul’s Centre in downtown Toronto. We also tour regularly, having been to Europe and Great Britain four times, and frequently across Canada and into the US.
