Vivid, passionate, sharp, bold and modern. Though trained to play more musical instruments, Phantasm opted to go for the viola - the instrument that sings with passion. They have a suigeneris style. Some of their recordings and performances have been unique examples of period music. Their concert in İstanbul will comprise works by Gibbons, Purcell and Byrd. A combination of unique musicians, Phantasm has been invited to festivals around the globe. Their performance will set the Hagia Eirene in fire and light.
