Stile Antico
One of the world’s most accomplished and innovative vocal ensembles, Stile Antico often shines new light on previously neglected works. In Renaissance Europe, the 16th century saw an unprecedented number of female rulers, many of whom used their patronage to promote new music and first publications of music by women composers. This concert will highlight this female influence by featuring works by and for women. “An ensemble of breathtaking freshness, vitality and balance.” – The New York Times “Perhaps the most ravishing sound I heard this year.” – Alex Ross https://www.stileantico.co.uk/ |
