About New York Polyphony

The all-male quartet are fast-rising stars on the classical music scene. The four men are recognized as one of the finest vocal ensembles active today and apply not only refined musicianship and interpretative detail but also a refreshingly modern touch to repertoire that ranges from austere medieval melodies to cutting-edge contemporary works.  Dedication to innovative programming, as well as a focus on rare and rediscovered early music, have earned New York Polyphony critical accolades and a devoted following. The group consists of Geoffrey Williams, countertenor; Steven Caldicott Wilson, tenor; Christopher Dylan Herbert, baritone; and Craig Phillips, bass. Craig Phillips is an alumnus of Appalachian State University’s Hayes School of Music. See clips of the New York Polyphony on their YouTube channel here: http://www.youtube.com/nypolyphony.
