New London Consort

about

The New London Consort (= NLC) is firmly established as one of the world’s leading early music ensembles with a uniquely wide and colourful repertoire of Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque music, much of it unpublished. Directed by Philip Pickett, the NLC has an enviable reputation for the flair, versatility and virtuosity of its members and for consistently presenting interesting and carefully planned programmes which combine the very best in scholarship and entertainment. The principal artists, all established soloists in their own right, share a rare unanimity of purpose and style, resulting in the NLC's undisputed reputation for artistry, flair and virtuosity. Their concerts and recordings, while frequently including first modern performances of unpublished, undiscovered or reconstructed masterpieces, also shed unexpected and often controversial new light on more familiar works. The NLC is a regular visitor to major festivals and concert halls throughout the world, and as well regularly performs at the leading British arts festivals and has undertaken five nationwide Early Music Network tours. In recent seasons the NLC has appeared at major festivals and concert halls throughout most of Europe, Hong Kong, Israel and America. In 1988 Philip Pickett was appointed Director of London’s Southbank Summerscope Festival of Medieval and Renaissance Music (Picketts’s Pageant) and the NLC gave 8 of the 32 concerts as ensemble in residence. In June 2005 the NLC performed J.S. Bach’s
