Described as “phenomenal” (The Times) and “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), award-winning choir Tenebrae is one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles, renowned for its passion and precision. This evening’s performance sees the glories of English and Italian polyphony contrasted with the might and drama of the Austro-German romantics – Reger, Brahms and Bruckner. Join us for an evening of sumptuous music-making, in aid of St Davids Cathedral Music Department.
