Dunedin Consort

Under longtime leader John Butt, the Dunedin Consort has become Scotland's leading historical-performance ensemble, with a catalog of successful recordings stretching back to the turn of the century and widespread performances and radio broadcasts in the U.K. and beyond. Dunedin (or Din Eidyn) is the historical name of Edinburgh Castle. The Dunedin Consort has reconstructed and made distinguished recordings of early versions of Baroque choral masterpieces. The group's recording catalog focuses mostly on Baroque music, but it has also performed contemporary music. The Dunedin Consort was founded in 1995 by Ben Parry and Susan Hamilton. In 2023, the Consort issued a recording devoted to choral music by Mozart and C.P.E. Bach and Handel in Rome in 2024.
