Stile Antico
In a Strange Land
The early music vocal ensemble Stile Antico is devoted to the study of Renaissance polyphony. Since 2005, the ensemble has been wowing international audiences with its music and will now come to the Athens Festival. In a Strange Land is a music tribute to artists who were persecuted by Queen Elizabeth I of England on the basis of their Catholic beliefs. Pieces by composers Peter Philips, Richard Dering, and John Dowland, who went into exile, and William Byrd and Robert White, who remained in Britain at the time and expressed their disagreement through their work, will be performed beautifully by the talented twelve-member ensemble. Working without a conductor, Stile Antico has won over audiences and critics with its repertoire, which encompasses eminent composers of the Tudor era, compositions of the Flemish and Spanish schools, and early Baroque.
