Stile Antico is 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 vibrant and colorful performances of Renaissance polyphony. Its bestselling recordings have earned accolades including the Gramophone Award for Early Music, Diapason d’or de l’année, Edison Klassiek Award, and Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik. The group has received three Grammy® nominations and performed live at the 60th Grammy® Awards at Madison Square Garden.
Stile Antico has appeared at many of Europe’s leading venues, including Wigmore Hall, Amsterdam Concertgebouw, Leipzig Gewandhaus, and Madrid’s Auditorio Nacional, and regularly features at prestigious festivals including the BBC Proms, Laus Polyphoniae Antwerp, and the Utrecht and York Early Music festivals. The group frequently tours to the U.S. and Canada, performing annually in Boston and New York, and has appeared at Ravinia, Washington National Cathedral, and in over twenty-five U.S. states. Stile Antico has also appeared in Mexico, Colombia, Hong Kong, Macau, and South Korea.
Stile Antico is passionate about sharing its repertoire and working style with the widest possible audience. The group taught regularly at Dartington, and now leads courses for its successor, the Music Summer School at Gresham’s School, and for Zenobia Música in Ávila, alongside its own Come and Sing days. The support of the charitable Stile Antico Foundation has enabled the group to offer grants to talented young ensembles, and to run an annual Youth Consort course.
In addition to its core repertoire, Stile Antico has premiered works by Kerry Andrew, Cheryl Frances-Hoad, Joanna Marsh, John McCabe, Nico Muhly, Giles Swayne, and Huw Watkins, and collaborated with diverse artists including Fretwork, Folger Consort, Marino Formenti, Lemn Sissay, B’Rock, Rihab Azar, and Sting.
The group’s eighteenth album, Toward the Dawn, will be released in early 2027.
