Tenebrae

Described as “phenomenal” (The Times) and “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), award-winning choir Tenebrae, under the direction of Nigel Short, is one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles renowned for its passion and precision.

Tenebrae presents a wide-ranging program spanning five centuries of sacred choral music. A Celestial Gift features celebrated choral works such as Gustav Holst’s majestic Nunc dimittis and Gregorio Allegri’s iconic setting of Psalm 51. Alongside these familiar favorites, this program showcases a wealth of music by some of today’s most exciting composers, with particular highlights including In Winter’s House by Joanna Marsh and James MacMillan’s stunning setting of the Miserere.
