About The Marian Consort

The Marian Consort is a vocal ensemble that presents bold and thrilling performances for audiences across the UK, Europe, North America and Asia.

Led by founder and director, Rory McCleery, the group is composed of the very best singers in a flexible, intimate ensemble, allowing clarity of texture and subtlety of interpretation that illuminates the music for performer and audience alike. TMC features regularly on BBC Radio 3, and has released fourteen recordings to critical acclaim, praised for ‘precision and pellucid textures’ (The Times).

The Marian Consort performs music from the twelfth century to the present day, with a focus on bringing to light and championing marginalised and lesser-known composers such as Vicente Lusitano, Raffaella Aleotti, and Jean Maillard. Creating new music is of vital importance to TMC; the ensemble has premiered over 30 works to date, and in recent years has commissioned Dani Howard, Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Laurence Osborn and Electra Perivolaris.
