Phantasm, an award-winning consort of viols, was founded in 1994 by Laurence Dreyfus and has become recognised as the most exciting viol consort active on the world scene today. The ensemble catapulted into international prominence when its debut CD of works by Henry Purcell won a Gramophone Award for the Best Baroque Instrumental Recording of 1997. Since then, the consort has travelled the world over, performing in festivals and on concert series in cities such as Prague, Tokyo, Istanbul, Helsinki and Washington DC

 

Phantasm’s members (Britain, Finland and the US) have been based at the University of Oxford since 2005 when they were appointed Consort-in-Residence. In Autumn 2010, they began a new association as Consort-in-Residence at Magdalen College, where they perform, develop viol consort playing among the students, and collaborate with Magdalen College Choir under its director, Daniel Hyde.

“Rigorous intellect with sensitive musicianship.”

- BBC Music Magazine 

“The playing is quite simply divine.”

- Gramophone Editor’s Choice

“A most rewarding and deeply satisfying musical experience.”

- International Record Review
