The Harp Consort
**The Harp Consort** is a vibrant early music ensemble led by renowned harpist and director Andrew Lawrence-King. Known for their fresh takes on Renaissance, Baroque, and traditional repertoire, they blend historical accuracy with playful creativity. Their work often bridges European and Latin American musical traditions, as heard in albums like *Missa Mexicana*, which mixes 17th-century Mexican villancicos with Spanish polyphony. With Lawrence-King’s expertise in historical performance, the group brings centuries-old compositions to life using period instruments like harps, lutes, and viols, while sprinkling in improvisational flair.
Their eclectic discography—from the Celtic-inspired *Carolan’s Harp* to the drama of *La Purpura Della Rosa* (the first surviving New World opera)—showcases their love for storytelling through music. Whether reviving obscure manuscripts like *El arte de fantasía* or reimagining Vivaldi’s *Four Seasons*, The Harp Consort marries scholarly rigor with accessible charm, inviting listeners to time-travel across continents and cultures. A must-listen for fans of early music with a adventurous twist!
