Ensemble Phoenix Munich

Ensemble Phoenix Munich (EPM) was founded in 2003 by Joel Frederiksen, American bass and lutenist, with the recording of "Orpheus, I am."  The ensemble focuses on music of the Renaissance and early Baroque, but does not limit itself to any one epoch exclusively. Programs range from Medieval to contemporary music reflecting the interests of its artistic leader, Joel Frederiksen. This freshness of programming is reflected in its concert series "Between Mars and Venus" in Munich (Germany), begun in 2007 and held at the Bavarian National Museum. EPM recorded four CDs for harmonia mundi France and now records exclusively for SONY/Deutsche Harmonia Mundi. Joel Frederiksen, the aritistic director, and the ensemble have won numerous prizes (Echo Prize, German Record Critics' Prize, Orphée d'Or, etc.) and appeared at major festivals around the world.   www.joelfrederiksen.com  /  www.ensemble-phoenix.com
