The Newberry Consort opens its 2024-2025 season with luscious music from seventeenth-century England for viols, voices, cornetto, lute, and sackbuts, featuring compositions by Orlando Gibbons, John Dowland, Thomas Lupo, the English Bassanos, Thomas Campion, John Coprario, Nicholas Lanier, and more.

The Newberry Consort and Schola Antiqua present a concert of works engaging the musical culture of Renaissance Prague at the 2024 meeting of the American Musicological Society.

Our annual musical Christmas pilgrimage takes us to Mexican convents, the Cathedral of Santiago, the secluded missions in the heart of the Guatemala mountains, and more. Celebrate the holiday with lively villancicos, ethereal sacred motets, and sparkling pastorales that herald the Latin-American Baroque.

Join us Valentine’s Day weekend for a wonderfully intimate evening of poetry and music by Pierre Sandrin, Cipriano de Rore, Giovanni Bassano, Philippe Verdelot, Adrian Willaert, and other Renaissance favorites. A five-part vocal consort is complimented by beautiful solo diminutions played on lute, harp, and recorder.

Curated by Ronnie Malley, this program was inspired by the Tarih-i Yeni Dünya, an Ottoman manuscript dated around 1600. Hear the oud, sandouri, sackbut, nay, violin, percussion, and kanun as they highlight varied musical traditions from the realm of Osman Ghazi, founder of the vast territory that would eventually be known as the Ottoman Empire.
