The Sonora Hungarica Consort was founded in 1992 by historical musicians. Their repertoire consists of chamber music from the early music period (Renaissance and Baroque). The 'core' of the consort is a trio: recorder, harpsichord and viola da gamba, which is often completed with singers and other musical instruments. In this way they become able to perform smaller oratorios and orchestral pieces (cantatas, concertos, etc.).

Since their foundation the consort has given concerts in churches and concert halls of Hungary and of foreign countries. They have three albums yet: French and German Chamber Music from the 17-18th century (2001); German Chamber Music from the 17-18th century (2003); Aliento Seráfico – Baroque Chamber Music from Italy & Spain (2006).
