Hailed as “phenomenal” (The Times) and “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), Tenebrae is renowned for its passion and precision. Directed by Nigel Short, this award-winning choir performs globally, from the BBC Proms to Sydney Festival, and collaborates with leading orchestras such as the London Symphony Orchestra.

We are delighted to return to Dorchester Arts to perform in the beautiful acoustic of St Mary’s Church.
