We are proud to announce that we will be returning to London’s top venues the latter half of this year, including St John’s Smith Square, Kings Place and Wigmore Hall, with a range of choral repertoire from Bernstein, Copland and Elgar to  Schoenberg, Howells, and Whitacre. The schedule is as follows: 7:30pm, Friday 6th July… continued

We are excited to announce that, in order to mark the composer’s 50th birthday and the 100th anniversary of Poland’s independence, we have released an album of choral works by Polish composer Paweł Łukaszewski. Łukaszewski is regarded as the best-known Polish composer of his generation. There is a sacred theme to much of his work… continued

The post-Easter season has been somewhat quieter for Tenebrae, following our USA tour and Holy Week residency at St John’s, Smith Square. The Associate Artists have, however, been kept busy with various educational workshops and concerts. We travelled down to Millfield School in Somerset to repeat our World War I programme featuring music by Gurney… continued

We are delighted to announce that our version of the iconic ‘Miserere‘ by Gregorio Allegri has been voted as the definitive recording by France Musique. They praised the “perfect balance” between the”full trebles” and “superb basses,” labeling the performance as “staggering,” and able to “conjure emotion and eloquence in a stunning and natural way.”

This time round we were performing Joby Talbot’s choral extravaganza Path of Miracles. Needless to say there were brilliant performances from everyone involved, but special mentions… continued

We’re thrilled to announce that over 6 weeks of fundraising, we have raised over double our initial target of £5,000 to reach a total of £10,060 raised towards our Ivor Gurney project. This money will be spent finishing the recording of the album with Aurora Orchestra, Dame Sarah Connolly and Simon Callow. The album is… continued

Well, what a crazy but musically rewarding month March has been. With the USA tour and the Holy Week Festival at St John’s Smith Square taking up much of the month, I’ve found a bit of time post-Easter to reflect on some of my recent experiences as an Associate Artist this year. At the beginning… continued

We’re really pleased with how well the 2018 Holy Week Festival went. We had concerts from Ex Cathedra, Temple Church Choir, our own concert of Pärt’s Passio with Aurora Orchestra, a Come and Sing Messiah, Polyphony with the Britten Sinfonia and our first international artist to join us for this festival, Skylark Ensemble. The week finished… continued

Alongside Tenebrae’s recordings of Fauré Requiem and the Bruckner Motets, the choir’s recording of Tallis’s Lamentations of Jeremiah has been selected for BBC Radio 3’s ‘Building a Library’ series. Alexandra Coghlan described it as “the most technically beautiful recording”. Tenebrae’s Medieval Chant and Tallis Lamentations album is available to purchase on CD or digital download via our… continued

Here we are at the last stop of the tour – Princeton. Our visit here began with an evening workshop on the 4th movement of Path of Miracles with the Princeton Glee Club – the stunning choir now run by Gabriel Crouch who has been singing with us on the tour. PGC impressed us all… continued

Our day in Ann Arbor, MI got off to a good start with a lie-in and, for me, a swim and the treat of going back to bed to catch up with some admin. Others took the opportunity to use the gym, or go out to the mall, or make the habitual pilgrimage to Whole… continued

Jet lag is a hazard of the job on these tours! That combined with a couple of early starts, losing an hour to daylight saving and a certain amount of distrust that my alarm would go off at the right time made for a rather broken night of sleep. The result was one very tired… continued
