Siglo de Oro
Renaissance Reflections

Patrick Allies, Artistic Director

London's celebrated vocal ensemble Siglo de Oro brings a program of Renaissance and modern sacred music for their debut Seattle performance in the splendid acoustics of St. James Cathedral.

Siglo de Oro is one of the leading vocal ensembles of its generation, praised for its golden tone, fresh interpretations, and innovative programming. The group made its professional debut in 2014 at the Spitalfields Festival, of which the Financial Times said: "Siglo de Oro, under the assured direction of Patrick Allies, performed with vivacity and poise." Since then, the group has given concerts across the UK, appeared live on BBC Radio 3's In Tune, and taken up invitations to sing at festivals in Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, Finland and Malta.

The ensemble, best known for its work in early music with a repertoire stretching from Hildegard of Bingen to Dieterich Buxtehude, is also dedicated to performing contemporary music. "Renaissance Reflections" offers music from the Renaissance era paired with modern compositions, spotlighting the artistic range of Siglo de Oro.
