The Basilinda Consort is an early music ensemble founded in 2023 by its director Dr Caro Lesemann-Elliott and is dedicated to exploring the musical lives of English Christian women religious. Focused on exiled English convent music, they explore the rich history of medieval and early modern English women as singers, players, composers, commentators, writers, and even bookbinders. Here they present new research on music from convents established expressly for English Catholic women across France, the Low Countries, and Portugal, which grew in size and number over the 17th and early 18th centuries. The theme is divine love, and the music reflects the variety of ways early modern English Catholic women religious understood this love as encompassing physical, spiritual, sexual, and psychological feelings.
