Folger Consort is the early music ensemble-in-residence at the Folger Shakespeare Library. Founding Artistic Directors Robert Eisenstein and Christopher Kendall create musical programs from the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods. The Consort performs concerts in the ensemble’s home, the Folger’s Elizabethan Theatre, the Washington National Cathedral, and the Music Center at Strathmore, and brings internationally noted guest artists to Washington, D.C. to join in its “early music chamber society.”

Beyond its concert series, Folger Consort strives to deepen audiences’ understanding and appreciation of early music through seminars, discussions, recordings, radio broadcasts, and unique collaborations with other programs of the Folger Shakespeare Library. Folger Consort won the Best Classical Chamber Ensemble award from the Washington Area Music Awards in 2006, and every year from 2008-2012.

Founders

Robert Eisenstein is a founding member and the program director of Folger Consort. In addition to his work with the Consort, he is the director of the Five College Early Music Program in western Massachusetts, where he teaches music history, performs regularly on viola da gamba, violin, and medieval fiddle, and coordinates and directs student performances of Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque music. He is an active participant in Five College Medieval Studies with a particular interest in the use of computer technology in the service of music.

Eisenstein has performed with many ensembles including the Washington Bach Consort, the Newberry Consort, the National Symphony Orchestra, Western Wind, and recently at Tanglewood, Amherst Early Music, and other summer festivals. He studied viola da gamba with Judith Davidoff and Richard Taruskin.

Christopher Kendall

Christopher Kendall is the founder of Folger Consort. Kendall is Dean Emeritus of the University of Michigan School of Music, Theatre & Dance and served formerly as Director of the University of Maryland School of Music and the Music Division and Tanglewood Institute of the Boston University School for the Arts. He was Associate Conductor of the Seattle Symphony from 1987 to 1992, and has guest conducted and recorded widely in repertoire from the 18th to 21st centuries. He will continue his work in Washington, DC, as artistic director of the 21st Century Consort.

From 1996 to 2005, he was Director of the School of Music at the University of Maryland, during a period of significant institutional growth related to the building of the Clarice Smith Performing Arts Center. Associate Conductor of the Seattle Symphony from 1987 to 1992 and Director of the Music Division and Tanglewood Institute of the Boston University School for the Arts from 1993 to 1996, Kendall is also Artistic Director, founder and conductor of the 21st Century Consort, the new music ensemble-in-residence at the Smithsonian Institution.

After 45 years of extraordinary early music, Consort founder Christopher Kendall is collaborating with fellow Artistic Director Robert Eisenstein and colleagues on his final season (2022-2023), providing artistic and programming consultation. Kendall notes his "tremendous good fortune in the opportunity to make marvelous music with extraordinary friends and colleagues, and for such a discerning and dedicated audience over these many decades. Such an institutional home, providing remarkable support and artistic freedom for a chamber music enterprise, is an extraordinary, virtually unprecedented boon.”
