Founded in 1994, Phantasm is a Berlin-based viol consort (viol: a renaissance-era precursor to the modern family of stringed instruments) that has garnered many accolades and awards for their 20 albums and groundbreaking performances worldwide. We are excited to welcome them to the Gatineau Hills in partnership with Collines-en-musique as part of their Canadian tour. The program they’ll present features music by J.S. Bach originally written for keyboard, but reimagined by Phantasm for four viols. Hearing keyboard music re-cast for stringed instruments is a little bit like watching a black and white movie in colour – the images are the same, but the coloration dramatically alters how you perceive it.
Presented by Collines en Musique in partnership with Ottawa Chamberfest
