Stile Antico live in Utrecht

Experience Stile Antico live on September 2nd

Stile Antico, the British vocal ensemble, is scheduled to perform at Domkerk in Utrecht, Netherlands on September 2nd, 2026. The group is renowned for performing polyphonic Renaissance music *a cappella*, meaning without instrumental accompaniment. Their repertoire primarily focuses on works from the 15th and 16th centuries by composers such as Palestrina, Josquin des Prez, and William Byrd, characterized by intricate harmonies and a focus on textual clarity. Stile Antico distinguishes itself by operating as an egalitarian collective, with all members sharing artistic direction and decision-making.

Domkerk, or Dom Church, holds significant historical and architectural importance for Utrecht. Originally constructed as a Roman Catholic church beginning in 1466, it became a Protestant church following the Reformation in the 16th century. The church is notable for its unfinished tower – originally intended to be the tallest church tower in the Netherlands – which collapsed in 1674 and remains a prominent landmark. The current building incorporates Gothic elements alongside later additions reflecting various architectural styles.
