About us
Who we are
Critically acclaimed choir and instrumental ensemble Armonico Consort entertains audiences across the country with its high-quality concerts, outstanding recordings and innovative projects. The Consort performs over 40 concerts each year, specialising in the music of the Renaissance and Baroque periods, but in practice performing music from the 12th century Hildegard of Bingen to new works by living composers. Central to Armonico Consort is its education programme, AC Academy, which reaches thousands of children each year across the UK, including those with special educational needs, through its in-school Choir Creation Scheme and after school AC Academy Choirs in partnership with music hubs nationwide and in collaboration with venues such as the Royal Albert Hall. The organisation is also active in workplaces, supporting choirs which increase wellbeing and morale, and in working with people living with dementia in care homes and in the community.
