Philip Spray (Month of Maying and Marginalia) performs with period instrument ensembles across the country in concerts and recordings. Co-founder of the Indianapolis Baroque Orchestra under Barthold Kuijken, he also is founding director of Musik Ekklesia whose first recording, The Vanishing Nordic Chorale, was nominated for a Grammy award in 2010, for Best Classical Producer. His current work with Alchymy Viols explores traditional literature for the viola da gamba consort but even more, as the name of the ensemble implies, the potential of mixing viols with both related and unrelated artistic elements to create something completely new and magical.
