Bruegel Consort

Bruegel Consort is a five-part early music vocal ensemble specialising in fifteenth- and sixteenth-century sacred polyphony. The ensemble particularly enjoys exploring and performing lesser-known music from the early Tudor period, led by the research of tenor Nick Walters. Bruegel Consort is the current recipient of the Stile Antico Ensemble Development Bursary (2024-26).

The ensemble was founded in 2023 by Lilly Vadaneaux in Cambridge, where its members sang together in college choirs and in the Cambridge Early Music Consort. Bruegel Consort was selected to perform at the Utrecht Early Music Festival Fringe in both 2024 and 2025. The programmes of English polyphony presented there included Tudor composer William Rasar’s Mass Christe Jesu, a work given its modern-day UK premiere by Bruegel Consort, from an edition created by Nick.
