The Musical Court of Charles V
From his upbringing in the Netherlands to his election as Holy Roman Emperor in 1519, Charles V consolidated a vast European and overseas empire, inheriting territories from his father and grandfather and ruling with a complex network of domains and administrations. His court became a leading musical centre, with highly prestigious composers and musicians who reflected the cultural richness of his environment and the political dimension of his power. Stile Antico, one of the world’s leading Renaissance vocal ensembles, traces this cultural world through sacred and secular works connected to this era. The program reveals how music accompanied the formation, affirmation, and consolidation of Charles V's authority, and how artistic creation served as a reflection and support of his reign.
