Hi, I’m Martin.
Thank you so much for your interest in what we do!
I am Martin Neron (he/him) and I am the Founder and Artistic Director of The Vocalis Consort - an art song ensemble for collaborators & artists inspired by the union of poetry & music.
The Vocalis Consort strives to feature works that have been traditionally overlooked in addition to excelling in performing the core of the Mélodie and Lied repertoire.
Our ensemble helps performers and audiences find and broaden the scope of the art song recital beyond the “traditional” Western European canon.
That’s our work… Intrigued?
