       Huelgas Ensemble - Bio
       For over forty years the Huelgas Ensemble has been one of the
       most celebrated ensembles specialising in the performance of
       polyphonic music from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The
       ensemble is well known worldwide for its inventive programming,
       particularly of unknown masterpieces, delighting audiences again
       and again with fresh perspectives and the purest intonation.
       The Huelgas Ensemble has performed in some of the world’s finest
       musical centres, including the BBC Proms in London, the Lincoln
       Center in New York, the Cité de la musique in Paris, the
       Berliner Philharmonie, the Fundação Calouste Gulbenkian in
       Lisbon, as well as the Centro Cultural de Belem (Lisbon). The
       ensemble also appears regularly at the greatest festivals for
       early music, where it often performs in its “natural habitat” of
       ancient chapels, churches and abbeys, thus building an
       interdisciplinary bridge between architecture and polyphony
       through its concerts.
       Performances by the Huelgas Ensemble are characterized by an
       in-depth knowledge of the aesthetics and concepts of musical and
       vocal practices of the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The
       media and critics alike regularly heap praise on the ensemble
       for its lively and innovative approach to the repertoire,
       continuously setting the highest standards in its field. It is
       precisely for this reason that more and more contemporary
       composers seek the ensemble out to perform their works (Rihm,
       MacMillan).
