Tenebrae’s 25th anniversary programme combines brand new music with works from around the world. Representing Tenebrae’s evolution over the past 25 years, ‘The Journey’ features music from some of the choir’s best-loved recordings and includes music which is close to the heart of Tenebrae itself. A new work by Jason Max Ferdinand features, as well as a brand new piece by Sarah Henderson, who won first prize in Undiscovered Voices, Tenebrae’s inaugural composition competition for emerging talent.
