Consort Of Musicke

The Consort of Musicke is an acclaimed British early music ensemble founded in 1969 by lutenist Anthony Rooley. Known for their beautifully detailed and historically informed performances, the group specializes in Renaissance and early Baroque vocal music, often diving deep into the rich madrigal, ayre, and consort song traditions of the 16th and 17th centuries. With singers like Emma Kirkby, Evelyn Tubb, and Mary Nichols among their frequent collaborators, the Consort of Musicke has played a major role in bringing forgotten or lesser-known repertoire to modern audiences. Over the decades, they've built a remarkable discography, exploring composers like Thomas Ravenscroft, John Dowland, Robert Johnson, and Sigismondo d'India, with an artistry that's both scholarly and full of life.
