Continuo Connect — Armonico Consort

Critically acclaimed choir and instrumental ensemble Armonico Consort entertains audiences across the country with its high quality concerts, outstanding recordings and innovative projects.

Armonico Consort began life in 2001, set up by Christopher Monks and a group of university colleagues with a shared passion for music from the Renaissance to Baroque, coupled with the imagination to find new and unusual ways to present concerts. Audiences seemed to love their engaging and imaginative approach, and most concerts in the first years sold out. The ideas kept flowing, and their horizons broadened to include more contemporary repertoire but at the heart remained Renaissance to Baroque music, including some rarely heard gems performed by some of the world’s finest singers and period instrumentalists.
