Tenebrae visit Guernsey Choral Festival, with a programme celebrating some of the finest choral works from the Renaissance through to present day. Ranging from Allegri’s haunting Miserere mei, Deus to Holst’s resplendent Nunc dimittis, this programme showcases the soaring contrapuntal lines of the late Renaissance as well as beautiful, intimate settings by some of today’s most talented composers – a true homage to choral greats past and present. We are joined in this performance by singers from Guernsey Youth Choir.
