| | The Hampshsire Consort -- A Renaissance Brass Quartet (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-18) |
 | | The Hampshire Consort (Nicolas Orovich, Paul Merrill, John Rogers, and Robert Stibler) is one of New England's leading early music ensembles. |
 | | Founded in 1979 as the resident early music ensemble at the University of New Hampshire, the Consort specializes in Renaissance music on early brass instruments, bringing to modern audiences the unique sound of cornetto and sackbutts. |
 | | Just as sixteenth century musicians did, members of the Consort "double" on other instruments, including recorders, krummhorns, cornamuse, flutes, shawms, gemshorns, pipe and tabor, trumpets, psaltry and percussion, making Consort programming a bright tapestry of Renaissance tone colors. |
