The Toronto Consort is Canada’s leading chamber ensemble specializing in the music of the Middle Ages and Renaissance. Formed in 1972, the Consort presents an annual series of concerts in Toronto, and performs throughout Canada, the United States, Great Britain and Europe. It has performed and collaborated with many leading early music specialists, including Paul O’Dette, Julianne Baird, Colin Tilney, Paul Agnew, Ann Monoyios, Suzie LeBlanc, The King’s Noyse, La Nef and Les Sonneurs de Montréal. The Toronto Consort has appeared with the Toronto Symphony under Andrew Davis, the Montreal Symphony under Charles Dutoit, and the North German Radio Orchestra.
"Since the founding of the Toronto Consort in 1972, Canada can boast a world-class early music ensemble worthy of the attention of any musically literate ear... Their closely matched phrasing, intonation and tonal shading was worthy of the finest string quartet." - Chronicle Herald, Halifax
In its Toronto series, the Consort is constantly exploring new repertoires and new ways to bring early music to the modern audience. The Consort often works in collaboration with other artists, such as actors, dancers and visual artists, to produce concerts which have dramatic as well as musical appeal. Recent projects have included all three Monteverdi operas performed in concert; a fully-staged production of a new transcription of The Play of Daniel; A Celtic Christmas with Puirt a Baroque; evenings of Renaissance dance with the Ken Pierce Dance Company; From Medieval to Millennial, a multi-media evening with video projections and Inuit throat-singers; An Elizabethan Entertainment with Veronica Tennant. The Toronto Consort has also recorded music for film, most recently the sound track for Academy Award-nominated The Sweet Hereafter directed by Atom Egoyan.
