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 brand new piece features by Sarah Henderson, who won first prize in Undiscovered Voices, Tenebrae’s inaugural composition competition for emerging talent.
