The Phoenix Consort
is a UK-based vocal ensemble, specialising in choral music from polyphony of the Renaissance to contemporary compositions of the 21st century.

The group consists of young artists, currently or formerly students at Durham University, and emphasises the perpetuation of choral music’s influence among young people today.

Formed during the pandemic, the group has performed across the United Kingdom. In November 2023, the group won two third prizes at the 54th Tolosa Choral Competition, and performed in cities and towns across the Basque Country, Spain.

Adam Whitmore
founded the Phoenix Consort whilst studying for his degree in Modern Languages at Durham University, and currently also conducts the Durham University Chamber Choir.

Whilst on a placement year, he was fortunate to sing with chamber choirs and early music groups in Spain and Estonia.

Adam also often works with the Rodolfus Foundation, which, much like the Phoenix Consort, aims to spread choral music’s influence among young people in the UK.
