Le Consort

The four outstanding young musicians of Le Consort have already established themselves as stars of the early-music world. The Paris-based ensemble is led by baroque violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, who also plays with the esteemed Les Arts Florissants, and whose dazzling talent has made him one of today’s most heralded violin soloists. Co-founder of the ensemble is another young star of his instrument, the extraordinarily gifted French-American harpsichordist Justin Taylor. Le Consort specializes in the various styles of the trio sonata, and brings a blend of music by Baroque masters Bach, Telemann, Geminiani, and Albinoni and exciting rarities to their highly anticipated NYC debut. Performed with staggering technique, authenticity, and charisma, these four musicians under 35 are making music of the 17th century thrillingly new.
