Odhecaton Ensemble

Eglise Saint-Théodule, Rue Saint-Théodule 14, 1950 Sion
Tribute to Palestrina
Since its creation in 1998, Odhecaton has won some of the most prestigious awards and been recognized by critics as a pioneer of a new approach to polyphonic performance. The vocal ensemble takes its name from the title Harmonice Musices Odhecaton, the first printed book of polyphonic music (Venice, O. Petrucci 1501). Its preferred repertoire is European music from the 15th to 18th centuries.

Under the direction of Paolo Da Col, Odhecaton brings together some of the finest Italian male voices specializing in Renaissance and pre-Classical music. The ensemble has recorded some fifteen CDs devoted to the works of composers such as Gombert, Isaac, Josquin and Peñalosa, as well as those of the Picardy masters and Spanish and Portuguese musicians active in the Canary Islands in the 17th century, not forgetting of course Palestrina, Monteverdi, Gesualdo, di Lasso, Alessandro Scarlatti and Loyset Compère. With these original and exciting programs, Odhecaton is invited to the most important festivals in Europe and America, and has been awarded the highest discographic distinctions.
