Formed in Paris in 2015, Le Consort is dedicated to Baroque music and the genre of the trio sonata. The ensemble focuses on interpreting music with enthusiasm, sincerity, and modernity. Made up of two violins, a cello, a harpsichord, and featuring rising Baroque star Théotime Langlois de Swarte, Le Consort is considered “one of the major players on the French baroque scene” (Diapason).
