We are delighted to be expanding the reach of Tenebrae’s Choral Development Programme even further – working in association with the Self-Isolation Choir to give thousands of choral singers across the world the opportunity to join together virtually to sing glorious choral works at this uncertain time.   A Cappella Wonders is a choral course… continued

The programmes we have chosen reflect much of the music that Tenebrae has performed and recorded over the last 20 years, and include one or two works which deserve to be far better-known than they are…. continued

Time for another update and I’m delighted and relieved to say we actually have plenty of recent activity to share with you! The main event for Tenebrae during these first months of autumn was the filming of ‘Tenebrae Unlocked’, a series of 4 short filmed concerts made possible thanks to the generosity of so many… continued

We’re launching a brand new series of specially designed films, bringing the Tenebrae concert experience to you at home – Tenebrae classics and new choral discoveries available to stream online. Thanks to our amazing supporters all over the world, we were delighted to bring our singers together in the atmospheric setting of St. Augustine’s Kilburn,… continued

In these worrying times it’s quite a challenge to write a blog and make it all breezy and positive. I’d love to tell everyone that we have a full schedule of concerts up our sleeve, but of course that isn’t the case – for reasons of which everyone is well aware. However, we did manage… continued

Well, it seems rather odd to be writing a blog that relays nothing about recent exploits with Tenebrae. No concerts, no music. Thank heavens we live in a time where technology can at least help a bit with that. Like all other choirs we are ‘grounded’ for the foreseeable future and, unlike many other sectors… continued

Call me basic, but a stand-out track for me is Golovanov’s Oche Nash setting from the Russian Treasures disc. So much of that disc way back in 2014 introduced me to new material – including a few of Golovanov’s – and with it an expanded palette of choral music as a genre, which I think… continued

My chosen Tenebrae track is the motet Versa est in Luctum by Alonso Lobo. The text is pretty miserable so we won’t dwell on that for now, but this choice is more for what the piece represents in the context of my relationship with Tenebrae. We open our ‘Spanish Glories’ concert programme with it and… continued

It’s hard to pick a favourite but Nikolay Golovanov’s Our Father from the Russian Treasures is a true gem for me. The Russian Treasures programme was the first concert I sang with Tenebrae and it was an exciting journey discovering lots of music I’d never heard before. It’s intense and beautiful and reaches an amazing… continued

This week I bid farewell to Tenebrae for the foreseeable future as I’m off into the strange new world of furlough. My Tenebrae track for the playlist is the final movement of Joby Talbot’s Path of Miracles: ‘Santiago’. It’s my all-time favourite piece performed by Tenebrae and seeing it live really brings it to life… continued
