Siglo de Oro – choral concert

Siglo de Oro is an adventurous vocal ensemble based in London. Led by its director, Patrick Allies, the group is known for its golden tone, fresh interpretations, and innovative programming.

​In recent seasons, highlights have included a three-concert residency at Wigmore Hall, a collaboration with composer Caroline Shaw, concert tours of the US and Canada, and appearances at festivals across the UK and in Sweden, Finland, Germany, Belgium and the Netherlands.

​The group has made six recordings for Delphian Records, winning accolades from BBC Music Magazine (choral recording of the month), Fono Forum (Stern des Monats) and Music Web International (Recording of the Year).

​Siglo de Oro’s repertoire stretches from the music of the Middle Ages to newly commissioned works. The group’s projects have ranged from a research partnership exploring 12th-century French song via 17th-century Italian Carnival madrigals to pieces written for the group by Kerensa Briggs, Marisse Cato, and Ben Rowarth.

This evening’s concert will focus on the music of William Byrd and Thomas Tallis.
