The Oberlin consort have performed the works of Orlando Gibbons, Henry Purcell, William Byrd Christopher Tye, John Ward and William Lawes. Since their first encounter with Lawes in 1982, the Oberlin Consort has devoted much of its energy to interpreting and performing Lawes' works, both in concert and on recordings.
