| The consort is available for a variety of
performance types. Their educational demonstration lectures are
available for students of all ages. They provide a look at the variety of
sounds available to the composers of the renaissance as well as musical
forms popular in those days. Educational concerts can be tailored to supplement
your programs, whether it be a particular period of history or a specific
region of the world. In 1986 Young Audiences of Virginia awarded
the Locrian Early Music Consort their Performer of the Year Award
Their concerts provide a diverse and often humorous portrayal
of this wonderful music of the renaissance. This season they are presenting
"Where's Gesualdo?", a study into the music of the eccentric Don Carlo
Gesualdo and those who influenced his style. The Locrian Consort is often
called upon to provide instrumental support for performances of historic
music by the area's vocal ensembles and church choirs as well.
Ambiance music and strolling performances are popular
for receptions and special events where their music and costumes can
add to the historic theming of the event. They can also provide processionals
and fanfares as needed to herald special presentations or guests at your
function.
The ensemble typically performs as a quartet or quintet, but can
be augmented by additional musicians for larger performances.
