The Newberry Consort, an early-music, original-instrument chamber ensemble affiliated with the Newberry Library Center for Renaissance Studies, brings early music to the general public through performances, recordings, and related educational activities. The Consort draws on the Library's holdings in music dating back to the thirteenth century, using original sources and scholarly editions as bases for its performances. The Consort also serves as an ensemble-in-residence at both the University of Chicago and Northwestern University. In addition to an annual concert series in Chicago, the Consort has an active touring schedule and is available for on-campus master classes.
