Folger Consort Tickets

Folger Consort is Washington, DC’s renowned early music ensemble, serving as the ensemble-in-residence at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Since its founding in 1977 by Robert Eisenstein and Christopher Kendall, the group has earned a reputation for historically informed performances that illuminate music from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. Co-artistic directors Eisenstein and Kendall guide a dynamic program that combines scholarly research with expressive performance, inviting audiences to experience listening as an act of discovery.

Across decades, Folger Consort has broadened its reach beyond the Folger Theatre, performing at the Washington National Cathedral, Strathmore, and even touring venues tied to Shakespearean or historic themes, including engagements at Shakespeare’s Globe. Their work is recognized with multiple Washington Area Music Awards for Best Classical Chamber Ensemble (2006, 2008–2012, and beyond), underscoring their influence in the regional classical scene.
