Dunedin Consort’s values guide them in everything they do. Excellence, creativity, curiosity, and experimentation are nurtured by creating an environment for the musicians, staff, and audiences to support them in exploring these ideals through their artistic endeavours.
Commitment to Sustainability and Inclusivity
Their commitment to sustainability is paramount. Active support of local communities and investing in the next generation of musicians is necessary for both the organisation and the classical music sector to thrive and evolve.
At the heart of their mission, there is inclusivity. The Dunedin Consort acts within an environment accessible and open to everyone: its musicians, staff, audiences, and participants alike. They work hard on breaking barriers and offering extra support to anyone with particular needs, so that everyone has an equal opportunity to engage with their work.
Integrity, Openness, and Respect
They believe in integrity and openness. Dunedin Consort fosters an open environment whereby those working or involved with them can raise concerns without fear on any area of their operations. The institution is obligated to respond to such concerns raised quickly and in a supportive manner.
The tenet of respectful and considerate behaviour underpins interaction, and the same is expected of everyone representing Dunedin Consort.
Mission and Vision
Dunedin Consort envisions itself as one of the greatest baroque ensembles worldwide, firmly rooted in Scotland but celebrated across the globe for its innovative and incisive programming. This means moving, engaging, challenging, and delighting audiences with richly engaging performances, recordings, educational initiatives, and digital content not only in Scotland but all over the world.
They are looking for new audiences and newer programming while remaining based in historical performance, and their interesting and sometimes unexpected investigations give varied repertoires a look. This commitment to being relevant, vital, and inquisitive keeps them pushing to bring newness and novelty into all that they do.
Embracing Diversity Through Accessibility
By making all of their activities—both on and off the concert platform—accessible, Dunedin Consort hopes to be able to foster and embrace a diverse, contemporary society through a comprehensive learning and participation program.
