London's celebrated vocal ensemble Siglo de Oro brought a programme of Renaissance and modern sacred music to St James Anglican Church for their Canadian debut in Vancouver as they commenced their 2024 Canada and USA tour.
The ensemble is best known for its work in early music, with a repertoire stretching from Hildegard of Bingen to Dieterich Buxtehude. Siglo de Oro is also dedicated to performing contemporary music, and their Renaissance Reflections programme offers selections both old and new.
