Named after the singers and lutenists who performed in the Stuart monarchs' most intimate chambers, the Musicians In Ordinary are dedicated to the performance of solo song and chamber vocal music of the Renaissance and Baroque eras.

Lead by soprano Hallie Fishel and lutenist John Edwards, Musicians in Ordinary have committed two decades to authentic scoring, historical pronunciation and playing techniques of the period, frequently collaborating with other singers and instrumentalists.

MIO place their repertoire in cultural context through a diverse selection of programming, including lectures and performances at universities in literature, history and art departments and at museums and other institutions. MIO’s podcast series, hosted by John Edwards, invite specialists in the area of history, religion, literature, theatre and music for in depth discussions around central themes against a backdrop of readings and musical performances of the period.
