Bach, Ben Rowarth, Harvey, Hildegard of Bingen and Palestrina

Siglo de Oro, while raised on and sustained by an expansive diet of early sacred music, is also a dedicated champion of contemporary choral repertoire. This programme spans nine centuries of music history, stretching from the mystical stillness of Abbess Hildegard’s 12th-century antiphon O spectabiles viri to the first performance of Ben Rowarth’s The Fall for voices, electronics and violin.
