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 and Renaissance gems, folk song and world music arrangements, and many other sacred and secular compositions. We enjoy collaborating with instrumentalists – and we also like to include our audiences in making music.
This December, we’ll be performing a new holiday program Winter Mosaic – a medley of traditional carols from France and the British Isles, playful Noëls, new compositions about peace and justice, choral renaissance gems, piano interludes, and audience participation.
We’ll be carol-singing at Franklin Park Conservatory on Sunday December 6, and then doing two full-length performances of Winter Mosaic on Saturday December 12 and Sunday December 13. Further details on our concerts page.
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. We would particularly like to find one more tenor!
Last but not least: The Magpie Consort receives generous project support from the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC). Thank you, GCAC.
