Medieval, Renaissance, Baroque, Sefardic, British Isles & original music!
Click HERE for Steven and Kathy's Camino presentation
The Fyre and Lightning Consort, founded in 1974, is a
group of musicians living in Central Vermont dedicated to
the study and performance of Medieval and Renaissance
music. Throughout the past years, we have also become
increasingly interested in traditional music of various
types, including the music of the Sefardic Jews and
traditional music of the British Isles, as well as
arrangements and new compositions created especially for
us by us.
We have a large collection of early instruments including recorders, flutes, whistles, krumhorn, cornamuse, cornetto, bagpipe, harp, lute, psaltery, vielle, violas da gamba and assorted percussion.
Throughout its long performing history Fyre and Lightning
has delighted audiences of all ages and musical tastes
with its lively and interesting approach. We offer a
variety of performance options including full length
concerts, lecture-demonstrations, special school programs
and workshops for audiences of all ages.

During the summer of 2018 Kathy and Steven walked the Camino de Santiago, a thousand year old pilgrim trail across northern Spain - over 540 miles. We now offer a combined presentation/concert of our experiences along the way and medieval and traditional music.
