Husband and wife team Jonathan Salzedo and Marion Rubinstein organize and direct the ensemble. The Albany Consort was based in London until 1981, when Jonathan left England, and is now based in the San Francisco Bay Area.

Marion and Jonathan are busy with other groups, so the Albany Consort is not as active as in previous years. See the newsletter for more details of our activities.

The group's personnel is pretty fluid, expanding and contracting to meet the demands of the music. The directors only invite musicians who love the music, and are excited by it.

Jonathan Salzedo (harpsichord) and Marion Rubinstein (recorder and harpsichord) run the group. Other musicians are invited to join them, depending on the needs of the music. The smallest productions have been duo concerts (just Marion and Jonathan, or either Marion or Jonathan with an invited guest). At the other extreme of scale, Jonathan has launched choral productions, including Bach's St John Passion and Mass In B Minor. Having two children prevented either Jonathan or Marion from working at this scale for a few years. However, this is the music they love, and there are always plans for more big concerts in the works.
