The Toronto Consort

The Toronto Consort is Canada’s vibrant early music ensemble, bringing medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque tunes to life since 1972. Known for their lively performances and scholarly approach, this Toronto-based group mixes voices and period instruments like lutes, viols, and recorders to recreate the soundscapes of centuries past. Whether they’re diving into Elizabethan court music, exploring Latin American holiday traditions, or unpacking Italian masterpieces, their concerts feel like time-traveling parties with a side of historical storytelling.

Their discography—including gems like *Frescobaldi and the Glories of Rome* and *Navidad: A Latin American and Spanish Christmas*—showcases their eclectic range, blending sacred works, festive tunes, and rediscovered rarities. Collaborating with guest artists and scholars, The Toronto Consort keeps early music fresh and accessible, proving that 16th-century jam sessions still slap. 🎻✨
