Cantica Symphonia is an ensemble deeply rooted in the exploration and performance of early and Renaissance music. With a focus that traverses secular to sacred realms, Cantica Symphonia's repertory beautifully encapsulates the nuanced polyphonies and melodic intricacies characteristic of the period. Their impressive discography, including seminal works by Johann Sebastian Bach, such as "J.S. Bach: Concertos for Recorder", and Claudio Monteverdi's "Vespro della Beata Vergine," showcases their versatility and profound understanding of historical performance practices. The ensemble also dedicates part of its musical journey to uncovering and interpreting compositions by Guillaume Dufay, as evident in their dedicated releases like "Dufay: The Masses for 1453" and "Dufay, G.: Choral Music".

Through their meticulously curated programs and recordings, Cantica Symphonia not only revives the resplendent soundscapes of the past but also brings forth the relevance of these ancient compositions to contemporary audiences. Their works, including "Stabat Mater" and "Monteverdi: Missa in illo tempore – Cavalli: Missa pro defunctis," resonate with emotional depth and historical authenticity, laying bare the ensemble's commitment to scholarly research and artistic excellence. Through engaging with compositions that span centuries and geographies, from the mournful expressions of the "Stabat Mater" to the reflective "Vocal Music - Past and Present Reflections of the Marian Inspiration," Cantica Symphonia enriches the early music scene with their insightful interpretations and dedication to the craft.
