Fringe: Bruegel Consort

Fringe: Bruegel Consort

This concert is part of the free fringe programme of the Festival Oude Muziek Utrecht 2025.

The vocal ensemble Bruegel Consort was founded in 2023 by Lilly Vadaneaux. The focus is on Renaissance polyphony with a special interest in little-known works. Several members of the ensemble sang together in Cambridge college choirs and in the Cambridge Early Music Consort. Bruegel Consort gave their first concert in January 2023, of a selection of motets from William Byrd’s three publications of Cantiones Sacrae. Following the success of this initial concert, the ensemble went on to present programmes of music by Robert White and William Rasar. Bruegel Consort was recently selected for the Stile Antico Ensemble Development Bursary 2024-26.
