The Tudor Consort join us once again in 2025 for THE ARTIST REPENTS on 22 November.
The Tudor Consort is a specialist early choral group based in Wellington, New Zealand. It is made up of the region’s finest choral singers, and depending on repertoire can range in size from 5 to 25 members.
The group was formed in 1986 by Simon Ravens with the intention of performing lesser-known choral music from the late Medieval and Renaissance periods, laying special emphasis on English sixteenth century music. Current Music Director Michael Stewart has brought his passion for 20th Century choral music to The Tudor Consort, as well as exploring the works of the early Tudor composers.
As a result of this continuing evolution The Tudor Consort continues to be admired both locally and nationally as one of New Zealand’s finest and most innovative early choral ensembles. Prizewinners at two editions of the Tolosa International Choral Competition, recent highlights include critically-acclaimed performances of Handel’s Messiah and JS Bach’s Christmas Oratorio and St Matthew Passion. The Tudor Consort is regularly featured on Radio New Zealand Concert.
