Fretwork

Fretwork is a British ensemble that’s been bringing Renaissance and Baroque music to life since the 1980s, specializing in the warm, resonant sounds of viols. Known for their dedication to early music, they’ve become legends in the classical scene for unearthing and reimagining works by composers like William Byrd, John Dowland, and Matthew Locke. Their recent projects—like the *Byrd 1589* album and collaborations such as *Tom and Will* (celebrating Tallis and Byrd)—showcase their knack for blending historical precision with fresh energy. Whether diving into Bach reinterpretations or medieval gems like their *Classical Medieval Collection* series, Fretwork keeps making centuries-old music feel thrillingly alive.
