Virtuosos of Violin and Verse
November 7-9, 2025
In a collaboration with Folger Poetry, the Consort will be joined by poet, author, and actor Rose Solari for a performance across the centuries in words and music. Among the highlights of this program are songs and cantatas by Barbara Strozzi, violin music of the 17th and 18th centuries, and the lyric verse of 16th-century poet Torquato Tasso (1544-1595), which inspired a number of Baroque composers.

Christmas Traditions from Spain and Portugal
December 5-14, 2025
Continuing a beloved tradition for the winter holidays, Folger Consort celebrates with festive music from Spain and Portugal. The performance will showcase the lush, many-voiced motets of 16th-century Portuguese composer Vicente Lusitano and lively 16th- and 17th-century villançicos (early Spanish Christmas carols). Plus, there will be holiday music by Lusitano’s contemporaries Cristobal de Morales and Adrian Willaert, along with songs celebrating the season with flashy dances and works for our ensemble that includes lute, guitar, viols, winds, and voice.
Love Songs of the 15th Century
February 13-15, 2026
Performing the sole surviving musical setting of a ballad written by poet Christine de Pisan, author of the early feminist utopia The City of Ladies, Folger Consort’s February concert will be an affair to remember. This concert includes 15th-century chanson repertoire sung from a woman’s perspective and is perfect for a romantic Valentine’s Day weekend.
An English Garden
May 8-10, 2026
Folger Consort presents a program of Elizabethan songs and instrumental music interspersed with short readings of poems, garden descriptions, and advice from contemporary authors. The Folger will welcome back audience favorite soprano Emily Noël and an ensemble of viols and lute for this springtime program, curated by Mary Springfels.
