Blue Heron is engaged in the exploration of Renaissance and medieval vocal music. Putting the study of original sources in the service of persuasive, vivid and exciting concert presentations, the ensemble is now established as the finest of its type in North America. Led by Scott Metcalfe, Blue Heron offers a home subscription series in Harvard Square, in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and a catalog of eight exceptional recordings is available on the Blue Heron label, one of which garnered the group the 2018 Gramophone Classical Music Award for Early Music, thereby making Blue Heron the first group from outside Europe to receive the award. Touring engagements have taken the group across the United States as well as to Canada and England. Blue Heron is Renaissance vocal music for the 21st century.
