Stile Antico
Stile Antico is firmly established as one of the worldâs most accomplished and innovative vocal ensembles. Working without a conductor, its twelve members have thrilled audiences on four continents with their fresh, vibrant and moving performances of Renaissance polyphony. Its bestselling recordings have earned accolades including the Gramophone Award for Early Music, Diapason dâor de lâannĂ©e, Edison Klassiek Award, and Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. The group has received three GrammyÂź nominations, and performed live at the 60th GrammyÂź Awards at Madison Square Garden.
Based in London, Stile Antico has appeared at many of the worldâs most prestigious venues and festivals. The group enjoys a particularly close association with Wigmore Hall, and has performed at the BBC Proms, Buckingham Palace, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, the Palais des Beaux-Arts, CitĂ© de la Musique, Luxembourg Philharmonie, Leipzig Gewandhaus and Madridâs Auditorio Nacional. Stile Antico is frequently invited to appear at Europeâs leading festivals: highlights include the Antwerp, Bruges, Utrecht and York Early Music Festivals, the Lucerne Easter Festival and the Schleswig-Holstein Music Festival.
Since its 2009 North American debut at the Boston Early Music Festival, Stile Antico has enjoyed frequent tours to the US and Canada. The group performs regularly in Boston and New York, and has appeared at the Ravinia Festival, Washingtonâs National Cathedral and Library of Congress, Vancouverâs Chan Centre, and in concert series spanning twenty-five US states. Stile Antico has also appeared in Mexico and Colombia, and in 2018 visited East Asia for the first time, performing in South Korea, Macau and Hong Kong.
Stile Anticoâs performances are often praised for their immediacy, expressive commitment, and their sensitive and imaginative response to text. These qualities arise from the groupâs collaborative working style: members rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each contributing artistically to the musical results. The group is also noted for its compelling programming, which often draws out thematic connections between works to shine new light on Renaissance music. In addition to its core repertoire, Stile Antico has premiered works by Joanna Marsh, John McCabe, Nico Muhly, Giles Swayne, and Huw Watkins. The groupâs diverse range of collaborators includes Fretwork, the Folger Consort, Marino Formenti, Lemn Sissay, BâRock, Rihab Azar, and Sting.
Alongside its concert and recording work, Stile Antico is passionate about sharing its repertoire and working style with the widest possible audience. As well as leading regular courses at the Dartington International Summer School, the group has been resident at Zenobia MĂșsica, and is often invited to work alongside ensembles at universities, festivals, and early music forums. During the COVID-19 pandemic, Stile Antico threw its energies into digital projects, producing a âvirtual choirâ recording of Tallisâ Spem in Alium, as well as filmed concerts and lecture-recitals. The support of the charitable Stile Antico Foundation has enabled Stile Antico to offer bursaries to talented young professional singers and ensembles, and to run an annual Youth Consort course.
