The Oriana Consort
choral music from seven centuries

The Oriana Consort is a small choral ensemble based in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The group's repertory is eclectic: its provenance typically ranges from the Renaissance through the twentieth century, and often the twenty-first. Music of the Baroque era, accompanied by instrumentalists from greater Boston's extraordinary early music community, forms a significant part of each program.

The Consort presents winter and spring programs each season in Cambridge and Boston's Back Bay.


Spring 2012

Special thanks to those who joined us for our latest concert, For Peace at Year's End. Our program for Spring 2012 will include excerpts, including the 6 vespers, from Rachmaninoff's beloved All-night vigil, as well as works by Britten, Braun, and Schütz. We are now scheduling auditions for our spring season -- tenors and basses, contact us for more information!
