Artists in Residence
Newberry Consort
Ensemble-in-residence at the Newberry Library, Northwestern
University's School of Music, and the University of Chicago, the
Newberry Consort is an early-music, original-instrument chamber
ensemble. The Consort brings early music to the general public through
performances, recordings, and related educational activities. Drawing
on the Newberry Library's vast holdings in the music of the 13th
through 17th centuries, the Consort uses original sources and scholarly
editions as the bases for its performances. Consort members are Mary
Springfels, viola da gamba; Drew Minter, countertenor; David Douglass,
violin and director; and Ellen Hargis, soprano. For more information,
