Welcome to the website of The Amaryllis Consort.
The Amaryllis Consort is a vocal ensemble consisting of established soloists who have a particular affinity for the subtleties of ensemble singing with its special demands on technique and musicianship. Whilst the madrigal and secular music of the Renaissance remain the Consort's area of expertise, programmes have seen an increasing flexibility in terms of repertoire. 2013 saw the ensemble's 30th anniversary, celebrated with an invitation concert in College Hall, Westminster Abbey. This marked the relaunch of the Consort's 2nd generation now under the directorship of the the founder's son, Francis Brett.
Our forthcoming concerts are on 14th February 2015 'Food of Love' HHH concert series, St Christopher's Church, Haslemere and
22nd February 1pm Chapel Royal, Hampton Court
On a moonlit Friday evening, the Amaryllis Consort regaled an audience in the Temple Church with music from the high Baroque, Burgundian Gothic and English Renaissance schools to much applause.

'For me, the best thing in those two days was a morning concert. We listened to the Amaryllis Consort singing English madrigals with rapt attention'.
