Stile Antico - Heading towards Christmas

The entire Christmas story is shown. The musical tradition of the Renaissance is so rich that a masterpiece was composed for almost every event. Stile Antico takes a selection from the scores of composers such as Schütz, Praetorius, Byrd, Victoria and Lasso. 'It is never a good idea to miss a concert by this British vocal ensemble,' wrote the New York Times, 'there are no better singers of old music.'

Masterful music for the most beautiful story

From Advent and the Annunciation to the Nativity, from the visit of the shepherds and the adoration of the three kings to Candlemas – step by step we follow the old Christmas story. It will be a feast of music. Not only from the Renaissance, such as Victoria's intimate O magnum mysterium and exciting motets by Byrd, but also carols from the Middle Ages. Plus irresistible Spanish and German dances.
