A message from Albany Consort co-founder Marion Rubinstein

This year marks the 51st year of the founding of The Albany Consort. Fifty years ago, a small ‎‎group of friends, barely out of graduate school, had so much fun playing together that we ‎‎decided to put on a concert. We asked the organist at Christ Church, Albany Street, London, if ‎‎we could use his church, and The Albany Consort was born.

 

For fifty years we have delighted our audiences with lively, casual concerts. Often we have ‎served food to recreate the warmth and intimacy of the 18th century. We perform locally, to ‎attract our friends and neighbors. We hope to continue to give you this wonderful music, and we ‎need you to keep coming and bringing more people to our performances.‎

 

We continue to operate on a shoestring, however. Unlike the early years, when all the musicians ‎‎were volunteers, we guarantee all our musicians a set fee for each concert. When audiences are ‎small, we incur losses, which we ‎finance ourselves. Most of the time, through our generous ‎donors and occasional grant money, ‎we are able if not to break even, at least to not lose too ‎much.‎ Donations to offset costs are always highly appreciated.‎

 

‎50 years is rare for music groups. Come to one of these concerts and help us celebrate the beginning of our 51st year!‎

 

 

Tickets and Donations

At the height of the pandemic, when concerts were all on zoom or livestream, we gave free concerts. Now we’re in a hybrid mode between live concerts and streamed events. These concerts will be recorded and streamed at a later time. To keep us in business we re doing tickets and requesting donations. Ticket price is typically $35 with a family rate of $95. But whatever you can give us is fine, including just a dollar or two or even nothing at all. Concerts have expenses: our musicians are professionals, giving up other work to be part of The Albany Consort, and we rent the venues we use. Tickets, donations and our savings have to cover our costs. All donations received help us to fund this and future productions, and we are very appreciative of your ongoing support. Thanks!
