About this concert
Where did polyphony originally belong? Not in concert series and at festivals, but in monasteries and churches, where the Liturgy of the Hours gave rhythm to daily life. In five concerts, Stile Antico and Collegium Gregorianum will perform five hours, appropriate for different times of day: Advent dawns during Matins, Christmas shines during Lauds, Easter inspires High Mass, the Assumption of Mary colours Vespers, and Compline echoes the feast of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. A four-part Mass by William Byrd and Gregorian melodies form the backbone of this living tribute to 1,500 years of tradition.

About the performers
Stile Antico is a much-praised vocal ensemble of young British singers which, without a conductor, concentrates on the polyphonic repertoire of the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Early Baroque. 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.
