Vega Consort
Vega Consort was formed in 2023 by Alex Thow and Augustin Cornwall-Irving. They have performed at venues including Utrecht Early Music Festival Fringe, Trinity College Chapel, Cambridge, Trinity College OCR, St Peter’s Belsize Park and St Olave’s Hart Street. Their programmes explore the juxtaposition of the Elizabethan penchant for melancholy with the cheerful frivolity that permeates the music of the English lute song composers, as well as delving into the continental repertoire upon which they modelled their craft. They are currently Brighton Early Music Festival Emerging Artists, and will be performing at the festival in October 2026.
