For 20 years The Tudor Consort has been
at the forefront of early choral performance
in New Zealand.

Over that period of time the ensemble has made several recordings (both professional and casual) and a selection from these are archived here; the goal being for those interested to chart the development of the group's sound over its 20 years. This archive will be augmented as older recordings made by the group are converted into MP3 format and placed here. Commercial tracks, made available by publishers, are listed first.
