The Deller Consort

Performer

In 1948, Alfred Deller formed the Deller Consort, a group dedicated to historically informed performance. The group significantly expanded popular notions of the Baroque repertoire, producing high-quality authentic "period performances" of the works of Bach, Handel, Purcell, Dowland, and even folk songs. Membership of the Deller Consort changed over the years. It included various baritones and tenors, as well as sopranos April Cantelo and Mary Thomas. From 1964, Alfred Deller's son Mark was also a member. In 1972, the Deller Consort performed for the Peabody Mason Concert series in Boston. As well as directing the Consort, Deller also conducted some performances with chamber orchestras.
