Stile Antico
They are celebrating their twentieth anniversary, he has already been around for five centuries: artist in residence Stile Antico sings the praises of Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, the polyphonist who inspired their ensemble name. Palestrina's career was inextricably linked to the papacy and the great churches of Rome. Through the staves of his most beloved works, this triumphal procession takes you past the Sistine Chapel, the Counter-Reformation and the pantheon of polyphony. From Sicut cervus to the Credo from the Missa Papae Marcelli: at this birthday party you get all the presents!
