The Illyria Consort

The Illyria Consort is a project of Baroque violinist Bojan Čičić, formed to explore rare Baroque works from the Venetian Republic and the Habsburg Empire. The group's programs on its extensive tours are often drawn from rare works known only in manuscript, including works by neglected violinists of the Baroque era. In 2017, the Consort released its debut album, Giovanni Stefano Carbonelli: Sonate da Camera Nos. 1-6. It released another album of Carbonelli sonatas, along with an album of the London Concertos by Giovanni Giornovich. In 2021, the Consort backed countertenor Barnaby Smith on the album Handel. In 2025, the group backed Čičić on a recording of Heinrich Ignaz Biber's Violin Sonatas of 1681.
