Musicians - Fretwork

Fretwork is a consort of viols based in England, United Kingdom. Formed in 1986, the group consists of six players and is considered to be one of the finest groups performing music for viol (viola da gamba) ensemble. Its repertoire consists primarily of music of the Renaissance period, in particular that of Elizabethan England, and Baroque period, particularly arrangements of the music of J.S.Bach.

In addition to its performances of early music, Fretwork has been active in commissioning new works for viol consort. Its 1997 recording Sit Fast includes new works by such composers as Gavin Bryars
, Tan Dun
, and Elvis Costello.

Fretwork has recorded for Virgin Classics and currently records exclusively for Harmonia Mundi USA.

Fretwork was recently featured on the soundtracks of two Jim Jarmusch movies, Coffee and Cigarettes (2003) and Broken Flowers (2005). Other filmtracks include Kingdom of Heaven, The Crucible, La Fille d'Artagnant and many others.
