Stile Antico Youth Consort

We are delighted to announce the seventh Stile Antico Youth Consort course, to be held in London between 29th-31st August 2026.

This course offers the chance for young singers (aged approximately 16-22) to work with members of Stile Antico over three days of intensive sessions. The course will focus on ensemble skills, collaborative music-making, and the historical context of the repertoire. All participants will also have the chance to develop their consort singing skills further by working in smaller, one-per-part groups. We recognise that participants will come with varied levels of experience and confidence, and will aim to place participants into well-matched groups, with support where needed.

A great way to meet like-minded people, learn a lot and have fun while doing it!

This year we will be taking a road trip around Renaissance Europe! Along the way, we will visit six of the greatest cities of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, encountering all sorts of music along the way. Together we will explore luxurious motets from Seville, entertaining curiosities from Munich, polychoral masterpieces from Venice and epic motets from Rome. Join us as we take a deep dive into some of the finest music for the age.

A unique opportunity to delve into early music with the guidance of knowledgeable (and very friendly!) professionals.
