	Huelgas Ensemble - Bio
	For over forty years the Huelgas Ensemble has been one of the
	most celebrated ensembles specialising in the performance of
	polyphonic music from the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The
	ensemble is well known worldwide for its inventive programming,
	particularly of unknown masterpieces, delighting audiences again
	and again with fresh perspectives and the purest intonation.
	The Huelgas Ensemble has performed in some of the world�s finest
	musical centres, including the BBC Proms in London, the Lincoln
	Center in New York, the Cit� de la musique in Paris, the
	Berliner Philharmonie, the Funda��o Calouste Gulbenkian in
	Lisbon, as well as the Centro Cultural de Belem (Lisbon). The
	ensemble also appears regularly at the greatest festivals for
	early music, where it often performs in its �natural habitat� of
	ancient chapels, churches and abbeys, thus building an
	interdisciplinary bridge between architecture and polyphony
	through its concerts.
	Performances by the Huelgas Ensemble are characterized by an
	in-depth knowledge of the aesthetics and concepts of musical and
	vocal practices of the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The
	media and critics alike regularly heap praise on the ensemble
	for its lively and innovative approach to the repertoire,
	continuously setting the highest standards in its field. It is
	precisely for this reason that more and more contemporary
	composers seek the ensemble out to perform their works (Rihm,
	MacMillan).
