You are invited to the Knoxville appearance of STILE ANTICO, They will present Polyphonic Postcards: Music from Europe’s Greatest Renaissance Cities.
The flourishing cities of Renaissance Europe played host to an explosion of cultural activity. Papal Rome dripped luxury, the trading hubs of the Low Countries accrued unimaginable wealth, and port cities such as Lisbon and Seville were deluged with treasure from newly discovered corners of the
globe. This programme provides a fascinating snapshot of music, politics, and culture at the apogee of the European Renaissance.
