The Oberlin Consort of Viols first formed in 1976 in Oberlin, Ohio with the intent of playing renaissance viol works in an intimate small setting, to recreate the ambience this intimate chamber music was composed for. The Oberlin consort have performed the works of Orlando Gibbons, Henry Purcell, William Byrd Christopher Tye, John Ward and William Lawes. Since their first encounter with Lawes in 1982, the Oberlin Consort has devoted much of its energy to interpreting and performing Lawes' works, both in concert and on recordings. The Oberlin Consort have recorded the complete Fantasies of Henry Purcell, as well as a program of fantasias for viols and organ by John Jenkins and William Lawes.
