The Phantasm Viol Consort invites you to a multi-voiced encounter in Berlin's St. Elisabeth Church: four composer portraits in the spirit of polyphony. The opening concert is dedicated to Johann Sebastian Bach under the title "The Well-Tempered Consort".



Transcribed for three to five viols of various sizes, Bach's works allow listeners to dive into unimagined depths, both intellectually and emotionally - even if they are already familiar with the repertoire. The concert also presents the ensemble's latest recording, "The Art of Fugue", which is being released on the same day by Linn Records/Outhere Music.

The Ensemble Phantasm, a viol consort, is inviting people to its own concert series in St. Elisabeth Church in Berlin-Mitte from mid-March 2025. The concerts are entirely dedicated to polyphony and each focus on a composer who is particularly well-known in this compositional technique.

After the approximately one-hour concert, the ensemble looks forward to meeting the concert audience at the bar and invites every visitor to have a drink.
