The Pandora Consort is an early music ensemble dedicated to reimagining classical music performance by integrating multimedia, interactive elements, and exploring historically under-represented repertoire. The Pandora Consort has developed three original concert programs, Vox Feminae, featuring stories of famous female heroines through female Baroque composers; The Witching Hour, a semi-staged program exploring women and witchcraft through repertoire spanning from Medieval to modern day; and Hildegard Reanimated: Vision in Vision, a program of repertoire by Hildegard von Bingen accompanied by animated projections of her most famous divine visions.
The Pandora Consort has performed on the New York State Baroque and Pegasus Early Music Young Artist Series, SoHIP Boston Summer Concert Series, the Saint James World & Early Music Series (PA), King’s Chapel Concert Series (MA), Salon Avec Moi (NYC) and the BEMF Fringe Series. In the Summer of 2024, the Pandora Consort, was the ensemble-in-residence at the Portland Bach Experience, performing works of Hildegard and Bach throughout Southern Maine.
The ensemble is also committed to educating the public on lesser known early music repertoire and bringing early music to unconventional performance spaces, performing everywhere from basements, to bookstores, to homes and outdoor venues.
Some highlights of the upcoming 2025-2026 season, include the Pandora Consort performing Hildegard Reanimated: Vision in Vision with Vermont Public Classical Radio, releasing an album of works of Hildegard von Bingen, and premiering their new program, The Fire Within Her, an original folk opera of early North American music about women’s liberation in the United States.
