About The Event
Described as “pure and radiant” (Gramophone), “immensely impressive” (Early Music Review), and “rich, full-voiced, and perfectly blended” (Early Music America), the Byrd Ensemble has been internationally acclaimed for its performances and recordings of chamber vocal music, particularly Renaissance polyphony. They are a Seattle-based professional ensemble made up of 10 to 12 singers. The Byrd Ensemble has also performed in London, where John Rutter described the ensemble as “a fine group that has achieved an enviable standard of tuning, blend, and ensemble.” The Byrd Ensemble is named after Renaissance composer William Byrd.
