The Magpie Consort is a group of 16 singers based in Columbus, Ohio. We perform a wide variety of repertoire, collected in magpie fashion from many parts of the world and from different musical traditions: medieval chants, sacred and secular Renaissance gems, folk song and world music arrangements, and contemporary compositions. We enjoy collaborating with instrumentalists, poets, dancers, and others – including our audiences!
Our spring 2024 program will be a celebration of 25 years of the Magpie Consort! See our Concerts page for further information. The group was founded in 1998, so technically we’re in our 26th year – but the pandemic took us out of action for a few years so this seems like as good a time as any to celebrate our quarter century.
To get reminders about all our performances, please join our email list for updates. We also welcome inquiries from anyone who would like to audition to join the group.
