In Stile Moderno:
Agnes Coakley Cox, soprano
Nathaniel Cox, cornetto and theorbo
Simon Martyn-Ellis, theorbo and guitar
Karina Schmitz, violin


The beginning of the seventeenth century saw a surge of innovative new musical techniques, as composers began to experiment with effects such as instrumental dialogues, echos, double and triple stops on the violin, and the imitation of other instruments and even animals! Violinist Karina Schmitz and lutenist Simon Martyn-Ellis join In Stile Moderno in this exploration of the eccentricities of early seventeenth-century Italian composers such as Biagio Marini, Giovanni Battista Fontana and Sigismondo d’India.


In Stile Moderno is an ensemble for early music, founded in Basel, Switzerland in 2012 by soprano Agnes Coakley and lutenist/cornettist Nathaniel Cox. Named after the "modern style" of music which emerged in Italy around 1600, the ensemble is dedicated to music of the seventeenth century, and combines fidelity to historical performance practice with a drive to make early music accessible and relevant to modern audiences. Both as a lute and voice duo and in larger formations with cornetto, organ, voice, and plucked instruments, In Stile Moderno has charmed audiences with their engaging performances of seventeenth-century music in Boston, Vermont, and New York, as well as in concert series in Switzerland, Germany, and France.
