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. It has since won two further Gramophone Awards – for Orlando Gibbons (2004) and John Dowland’s Lachrimae (2017); all Phantasm’s 20 recordings have won consistent praise.
Phantasm was based at the University of Oxford from 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 performed, recorded, and collaborated with the acclaimed College Choir. Phantasm have also making regular appearances for several seasons at the Wigmore Hall.
In 2015, Phantasm moved its base of operations to Berlin, Germany, where director Laurence Dreyfus plans the consort’s activities and pursues his own independent research in musicology, performance studies, and music analysis.
