Patrick Allies

Patrick Allies is a British choral director and early music specialist best known for leading the ensemble Siglo de Oro, which breathes new life into Renaissance polyphony and forgotten sacred works. With a knack for dusting off ancient manuscripts, he's built a reputation for resurrecting 16th-century gems like those featured in "The Mysterious Motet Book of 1539" and "Christmas in Puebla." His projects often explore liturgical connections across Europe, from Milan Cathedral repertoire to Spanish colonial music, delivered with crisp precision and warm tonal blends.

A Cambridge University music grad, Allies combines scholarly rigor with accessible storytelling – whether he's unpacking a "Mass for St Mark" or the Pentecost-themed "Dum complerentur." His 2022 Gramophone Award-winning album "Media Vita" with Siglo de Oro cemented his status as a fresh voice in early music, balancing reverence for tradition with modern concert flair. When not conducting, he’s likely deep in cathedral archives, hunting down the next centuries-old masterpiece to reintroduce to contemporary ears.
