Stile Antico is an ensemble of young British singers, now established as one of the most original and exciting new voices in its field. Much in demand in concert, the group performs regularly throughout Europe and North America. Their recordings on the Harmonia Mundi label have enjoyed great success, winning awards including the Diapason d'Or de l'année and the Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik, and have twice attracted GRAMMY nominations. Their release Song of Songs won the 2009 Gramophone Award for Early Music and reached the top of the US Classical Chart. Working without a conductor, the members of Stile Antico rehearse and perform as chamber musicians, each contributing artistically to the musical result. Their performances have repeatedly been praised for their vitality and commitment, expressive lucidity and imaginative response to text. Stile Antico's repertoire ranges from the glorious legacy of the English Tudor composers to the works of the Flemish and Spanish schools and the music of the early Baroque. Their workshops and master classes are much in demand, and they are regularly invited to lead courses at Dartington International Summer School. In New Haven, the ensemble will present a program of dramatic contrasts, exploring the glorious music composed for Passiontide and Easter. William Cornysh's anguished "Woefully Arrayed" and William Byrd's exuberant "In resurrectione tua" stand as the extremes of an emotional journey retracing the events of Holy Week. The music is richly varied, drawing on two centuries of English and Continental repertoire, from John Taverner to Orlando Gibbons, and Jean Lhéritier to Tomás Luis de Victoria, and also features John McCabe's "Woefully Arrayed" written for Stile Antico for the Three Choirs Festival in 2009.
