The Vicentino Singers is a vocal ensemble specializing in the performance of both the newest contemporary music and 16th- and 17th-century vocal polyphony. The members of the ensemble live and work in Finland and Estonia. The group’s aim is to offer composers the opportunity to write complex, meaningful, and virtuosic vocal chamber music, thereby expanding the expressive boundaries of the human voice and supporting new musical ideas.
Alongside contemporary music, the ensemble’s various programs explore Renaissance tuning systems and their connections to the microtonal aesthetics of our time. By applying modern practices in combination with more traditional polyphonic writing techniques, the ensemble seeks to bring new dimensions to the harmonic world of major figures such as Carlo Gesualdo and his contemporaries.
The ensemble consists of Linnéa Sundfær Casserly (soprano), Sirkku Rintamäki (mezzo-soprano), Iris Oja (alto), David Hackston (tenor), Martti Anttila (tenor), and Riku Laurikka (bass).
