The French ensemble Le Consort likens itself to an early-music version of a string quartet—a closeknit group of four musicians performing Baroque chamber repertoire. Co-directed by harpsichordist Justin Taylor and violinist Théotime Langlois de Swarte, Le Consort claimed both first prize and the audience prize at the 2017 Loire Valley International Early Music Competition, chaired by William Christie. The concert program for their Cal Performances’ debut is a tour through Italy, England, Germany, and France, featuring two settings of La Follia—arguably the period’s most recognizable and enduring melody.
