Phantasm

Polyphony for three | 22 - 23 Feb 2025

Phantasm

Polyphony for three 
Phantasm is dancing on the tightrope on which only the brightest minds dare to tread: the art of interweaving melodies in such a way that each sounds good on its own and as a whole. Polyphonic risk-taking, radical innovation and downright threats to the established musical order reign supreme in this recital-for-three, with visionary works by Tye, Byrd, Gibbons and Locke, and a pinch of Bach's Kunst der Fuge.
