Celebrate the soul of Shakespeare’s England with a lineup of the UK’s finest musicians, masters of interpretation from Elizabethan to contemporary music.

The RCM Recorder Consort, coached by specialist professor María Martínez Ayerza, offers works by Giovanni Coprario, John Dowland, Alfonso Ferrabosco II, James Harding, Robert Johnson and others. Larli Davies, Luca Imperiale, Joseph Page and Ana Walker play on different sets of renaissance recorders made by Adriana Breukink and Monika Musch, showcasing a whole spectrum of registers and musical characters. 

The Consort made their debut in November 2024 at the King’s Gallery in Buckingham Palace performing music by Gabrieli and Merula. For the rest of this season, they have focused on English consort music, particularly from the Jacobean and Elizabethan eras – repertoire full of beauty, fantasy and artistry which is very well-suited to the instruments. Their first full-length concert programme is being premiered at the Festival of Shakespeare in Music.
