Ever since the award-winning Austrian early music ensemble Quadriga Consort was founded in 2001 by harpsichordist [[Nikolaus Newerkla]], it has made a name for itself, playing rearranged early British and Irish traditional music which defies being pigeonholed as either "classical" or
"pop".


Particularly since collaborating with South African-born jazz and pop singer Elisabeth Kaplan on Songs & Tunes from the Isles (CD “As I Walked Forth” released 2005 on the Austrian Broadcasting Corporation's label ORF-Edition Alte Musik, CD “By Yon Bonnie Banks”, ORF 2007), the Quadriga Consort has had numerous appearances at renowned festivals in Austria, throughout Europe and the US.
Quadriga Consort has collaborated with South African-born jazz and pop singer Elisabeth Kaplan and has appeared at festivals in Austria, Europe and the United States. In 2019 Austrian singer Sophie Eder has taken over the part of the ensemble's voice.


Their record "On a Cold Winter's Day - Early Christmas Music and Carols from the British Isles" (SONY/Deutsche Harmonia Mundi) has become a classical music bestseller album.
