Ensemble ORLANDO CONSORT (Great Britain)

One of the most appreciated vocal groups of the world performing at the St. Olav´s Church, a landmark of Tallinn with the steeple that was the highest in the world around 1500. Beautiful music in excellent interpretation.

The Orlando Consort, formed in 1988, rapidly achieved a reputation as one of Europe’s most expert and consistently challenging groups performing repertoire from the years 1050 to 1550. The ensemble’s performances increasingly embrace the spheres of contemporary music. Their program “Ave Maria” combines masterpieces from the renaissance era and highlights from contemporary music, presenting the works by John Dunstable, William Cornish and other masters from the 15-16th century England along with the music by Arvo Pärt, Tarik O’Regan and Gavin Bryars.

The concert series Church Holidays in St. Mary´s Land produced by the Corelli Music agency has became one of the most significant series in Estonia known for its good taste and exquisite selection of performers and pieces.
