Founded by artistic director, Gary Berkenstock, the Chicago Early Music Consort recreates the rich and diverse sounds of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and early Baroque chamber repertoire in an exciting and historically-informed manner. The Consort regularly performs at outstanding venues in Chicago and throughout the Midwest, including multiple live performances on Chicago’s premiere fine arts station, 98.7WFMT. Programs are built around interesting historical and social themes to which modern audiences can easily relate.
Their performance was one to treasure, delivered with an obvious love of the period.

Festive and richly musical, their performance was the highlight of the season.
