Marco Beasley
Tenor Marco Beasley is a specialist in early music as well as new music written in those styles. With Guido Morini and Stefano Rocco, Beasley co-founded the early music ensemble Accordone. An active researcher and educator of the techniques of the Renaissance and Baroque, he is acclaimed for his vocal ability and for reviving forgotten styles.
Beasley was born on February 26, 1957, in Portici, near Naples, Italy. Growing up listening to classical and popular music on the radio, a revelation happened when traditional Napoli songs had a revival in popularity, spurring Beasley into re-creating the music with friends. In 1979, without any prior formal training, he began studying musicology at the University of Bologna, where one of his teachers was Cathy Berberian. While at university, Beasley developed an interest in Renaissance polyphony and recitar cantando, a style that he is credited with reviving. His ability to perform many different techniques -- from Gregorian chant, sacred and secular Renaissance and Baroque music to modern-day re-creations of earlier styles -- has taken him throughout Europe and North America, where he has performed in many of the world's top venues, including the Salzburg Mozarteum and New York's Lincoln Center.
In 1984, Beasley, with Morini and Rocco, founded Accordone, an early music ensemble Beasley continued to perform and record with until 2014, although he still occasionally performs with the group. Along with Morini, Beasley also wrote new music for Accordone, including Stella Diana and Tarantella Primma, siconna e terza. Beasley has recorded for several labels, including Cypres, Alpha, and Arts Music, among others. He began his recording career in a production of Alessandro Stradella's opera Moro per Amore. Since then, most of Beasley's recorded output has been with Accordone: among these are Le Frottole (2005), Recitar Cantando (2006), and Storie di Napoli (2012). In 2013, Beasley started self-producing albums that are sold exclusively at his performances, though he has continued issuing commercial releases, such as Meraviglia d'amore: Love Songs from 17th-century Italy on Accent in 2017 and La Porta d'Oriente on Glossa in 2020.
