“…an ensemble of musicians who are not prima donnas and completely respect one another’s talents, with many years of experience of getting all the nuances and detail of public performance just right.”
—Chris Goodwin in The Lute (Journal of the English Lute Society)
Since meeting as conservatory students in 2003, for the past 20 years Seven Times Salt has been delighted to bring the music of the 16th and 17th centuries to our audiences, with a special focus on the English Consort repertory. Praised for creative programming and an “impeccably balanced sound” (American Recorder Society), Seven Times Salt has performed at venues throughout New England including Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts, The Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, Plimoth Patuxet, Boston Public Library, New England Folk Festival, WGBH radio, and many others. We have researched and presented original programs for music festivals, college residencies, theatrical productions, historical societies, and our own self-produced concert series. We delight in blurring the lines between “art music” and folk tunes, and feel at ease performing in the concert hall, the dance hall, or the beer hall!
