STILE ANTICO The San Francisco Early Music Society‘s 40th anniversary season culminates with a concert by Stile Antico, a celebrated English vocal ensemble, at 4 p.m. on Sunday at the First Congregational Church. After hearing a recording by the group a few years ago, The New Yorker’s music critic, Alex Ross, exclaimed, “Perhaps the most ravishing sound I heard this year.” The concert is dubbed “Sacred or Profane? The Sensual Made Spiritual in the Renaissance,” and includes music spanning 300 years, from “ribald folksongs” to “risqué chansons” to “Monteverdi’s most erotic madrigals” — all turned into religious works. Tickets are $28-56 available online. 4 p.m., Sunday, April 10, First Congregational Church, 2345 Channing Way.
