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.
Our 2025 – 26 season is almost done, but you can catch one more performance of Cornucopia, our all-American program marking the 250th anniversary of the USA, at the end of September. See our concerts page for further information.
Our 2026 – 27 season starts with a program called Winter Mosaic. We’ll be carol-singing at Franklin Park Conservatory on Sunday December 6, and then doing two full-length concerts on Saturday December 13 and Sunday December 14. 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 are particularly interested in tenors!
Last but not least: The Magpie Consort receives generous project support from the Greater Columbus Arts Council (GCAC). Thank you, GCAC.
