Since its inception in 2009, the early music ensemble Margaretha Consort has established itself as a highly specialised, artistically outstanding collective that uniquely combines in-depth expertise with stylistic mastery and musical expressiveness. Their performances are rooted in a keen sense of historical context, in which stylistic authenticity and musical dramaturgy are combined with an intense joy of performance.

With A German Spirit, the Margaretha Consort completes the trilogy following A German Christmas (2018) and A German Passion (2023). This release, too, is more than a historical reconstruction: it is a living musical experience in which sound, spirituality and heritage meet. Through the combination of historical awareness, artistic curiosity, creativity and passion, this centuries-old music sounds fresh and contemporary, building a bridge between past and present.
The Early Music ensemble Margaretha Consort was founded in 2009 by Marit Broekroelofs. The ensemble is based in the Netherlands, but the singers and instrumentalists are from all over Europe. Over the years a highly skilled team of specialists has been created, whose knowledge, musicality and congeniality go hand in hand. This inevitably makes itself heard and seen on stage. The singers and musicians, all specialists in their own field, are challenged to contribute their musical and artistic ideas in such a way that a specific performance is created, supported by the ensemble as a whole.
