The Neumeyer Consort was founded in 2007 by Baroque cellist and conductor Felix Koch, Baroque violinist Barbara Mauch-Heinke, and harpsichordist Markus Stein. All three remain active with the group, and Koch has continued to serve as artistic director as of the early 2020s; Stein serves as managing director.
