Capilla Antigua de Chinchilla is a prestigious ensemble dedicated to the exploration and performance of medieval and Renaissance music, with a particular focus on the Iberian Peninsula's rich musical heritage. Named after Chinchilla de Monte-Aragón, a town known for its historical significance in the Albacete province, Spain, the group is lauded for its meticulous research and authentic interpretation of ancient music. Their repertoire extends from the haunting refrains of the medieval period to the complex polyphony of the Renaissance.

Under the artistic direction of its founder, José Ferrero, Capilla Antigua de Chinchilla has carved out a niche in the early music scene, consistently delivering performances that evoke the spirit and cultural context of the times from which their music originates. Releases like "Io Son un Pellegrin: El Caminar en la Música Medieval" and "Clamavi, Motets, Himnos y Responsorios del Renacimiento" showcase their commitment to both the sacred and secular traditions of the era. The group’s devotion to regional music is also evident in works like "Música Medieval Albacetense," which delves into music from their homeland. Through their performances and recordings such as "The Tristan's Harp" and "Endechar: Lament for Spain," Capilla Antigua de Chinchilla both preserves and revitalizes a historical span of music, allowing contemporary audiences to experience the profound beauty of the past.
