Three-time Grammy nominees, the Tallis Scholars were founded in 1973 by Artistic Director Peter Phillips. Through recordings and concert performances at international venues, they have established themselves as exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Over five decades, Phillips and the ensemble have created a sound that showcases the Renaissance repertoire.
The performance will explore winter with a theme of the Virgin Mary, with the “Votive Mass” written by Byrd, or in Tallis’s “Missa Puer natus”. The choice of music is taken from the English repertoire, featuring Renaissance masterpieces and compositions by Britten and Matthew Martin.
