TRANSCRIPT
Stile Antico is firmly established as one of the world’s most accomplished and innovative vocal ensembles. Working without a conductor, its twelve members have thrilled audiences on four continents with their fresh and vibrant performances of Renaissance polyphony.
Stile Antico has appeared at the Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam
Concertbebouw, and Leipzig Gewandhaus, and regularly features at such
prestigious festivals as the BBC Proms and the Antwerp, Utrecht and York
Early Music Festivals. The group tours regularly to the US and Canada,
and has performed in Mexico and Colombia.
Stile Antico’s members rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each
contributing artistically to the musical results. In addition to its core
repertoire, the group has premiered works by John McCabe, Huw
Watkins, and Nico Muhly, and appeared with such diverse collaborators
as Fretwork, the Folger Consort, Marino Fomenti, B’Rock, and Sting.
“It’s never a good idea to miss a concert from this British vocal ensemble: There are no finer singers of early music.”
