Ensemble La Silla

Ensemble La Silla is a classical vocal and string ensemble associated with the tenor Richard Resch. Their recent work includes the album *Die Nacht ist vorgedrungen* (2025), which features sacred and folk music exploring the deeper meanings of the Christmas season. The repertoire on this album draws from composers such as Johann Rosenmüller, Dietrich Buxtehude, and William Byrd, highlighting early and baroque music traditions through thoughtful interpretations.

Richard Resch, born in Regensburg, is not only a tenor but also a musician with extensive training in early music and concert pedagogy, having studied at the Regensburger Domspatzen school, Nuremberg-Augsburg University of Music, and the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis. Together with Ensemble La Silla, Resch presents a warm, intimate sound that has been well received in recent releases like *Wenn ich nur Dich hab* and *Maria durch ein Dornwald ging*, blending classical precision with accessibility.
