The young and energetic French foursome Le Consort make their Chamberfest debut with a program of hidden gems.

If you have never heard music by Dandrieu, Merula, Guignon, or Elisabeth Jacquet de la Guerre, Le Consort will introduce you to these unjustly neglected Baroque masters – and more! These inquisitive musicians passionately seek, perform, and record exceptional works by overlooked composers, delighting audiences with the thrill of new discoveries. In this program you will encounter virtuosic Italians, melancholic Brits, elegant French, and one of the first women to make a career as a composer.
