Here’s Tom and Emma, wrapping up our Christmas US tour blog from Kansas City. “Stepping off the plane at Kansas City airport, we had a free day stretching out in front of us. The Marriott Hotel in Downtown KC has been the standard accommodation for itinerant Stilists for all our trips here, so that was…
Eleanor blogs about our time in Texas! “The first few days of our tour were characterised by labyrinthine churches, warm acoustics, and even warmer Texan hospitality. Our first stop was Dallas, where we returned to the Church of the Incarnation to present our new Christmas programme, A Spanish Nativity, and were rewarded afterwards with a…

As we battle the jet lag back in London, here’s Becky with the final instalment of our tour blog! “Arriving in Macau at night gives one a first impression of opulence and vulgarity – it’s not known as the ‘Vegas of China’ for nothing – but as we discovered over the next couple of days,…

Once…
Here’s Helen, getting our tour blog underway! “It’s fair to say that our time in the States was dominated by four letters – SSSS. “We set off early on Thursday morning to Gatwick airport. The Korean visas had been completed at the eleventh hour, so James and Becky were distributing passports in the check-in queue!…
Stile Antico is about to embark on its most ambitious tour yet, geographically speaking – a complete trip around the world, with concerts in the US and East Asia. On Thursday we fly to Denver, Colorado, where we perform on Friday evening in St John’s Cathedral. Concerts follow in St Mary the Virgin, NYC, and…
Stile Antico sensibly brings a variety of pace to its performances… the singers inject plenty of Latin passion into their clear, English choral sound.
