Prospero Consort is a Swiss-based ensemble consisting of young musicians who have dedicated themselves to historical performance practice in the conviction that the music of the past centuries is still relevant to our present. Educated at various music academies in Switzerland and Germany, they are united by the ambition to perform the music of the 17th and 18th century in highest artistic quality. Prospero Consort plays on historical instruments and consists of a string quartet with harpsichord; depending on the program, wind instruments and singers are added to the ensemble. Projects with unconventional programs from northern Germany to Naples, from trio to the chamber music performance of Bach cantatas prove the variety and curiosity of the ensemble. In addition to performing baroque music the ensemble frequently incorporates contemporary music into its programs. At their concerts, well-known and unknown works are juxtaposed, they explore new concert formats and spaces and try to convey their passion for baroque chamber music to a young audience. In addition to regular concerts in Zurich and north-eastern Switzerland, the ensemble also performed at the International Bach Festival in Schaffhausen and the Center for the Research and Cultivation of Telemann's Music in Magdeburg.
