The Phoenix Consort

The Phoenix Consort is an award-winning vocal ensemble, specialising in choral music from polyphony of the Renaissance to contemporary compositions. The group consists of young artists, originally founded at Durham University, and has expanded to a UK-wide network of exciting young choral musicians.

Since starting during the pandemic, the group has performed across the United Kingdom, achieved two prizes at the 54th Tolosa Choral Competition in Spain in 2023, and recorded several albums of contemporary choral music.

The consort’s main aims surround bringing new music to a wide variety of audiences and showcasing choral music as an art form among younger generations.
