The day started with an 08.30 departure for our drive to Salt Lake City for our flight to LA. The weather was pretty rough as we departed and there were a fair few bumps on the flight both on the way up and the way down. Not my favourite thing… We arrived into LA to… continued

Day 5 and, for most, the first and last rest day of the tour. Six plucky Tenebrae members (former and current Associate Artists + Jimmy) would give a workshop at the University of Maryland in the afternoon but more on that later! First came the chance to catch up on sleep – this was the… continued

Day 4 of our tour across the states started earlier for some than others, with a couple of people heading out for an early run across Charleston’s beautiful coast. Luckily for me, the jet lag hasn’t hit too badly, so I engaged in no such worthy productiveness and slept until the rudeness of my alarm… continued

Welcome to the first blog of Tenebrae’s current tour of the USA. This tour’s a mammoth one as we undertake 10 concerts in 10 different states in 13 days, and you’ll get to read all about it thanks to these blogs, written by members of the choir, carefully handpicked by management. I like to think… continued

It really doesn’t feel like that long ago that I was auditioning for the Tenebrae Associate Artist scheme, so looking back on the scheme as I prepare to leave it feels very strange indeed! What I think strikes me the most about my time as an Associate Artist is the sheer variety of work that… continued

Tenebrae performing at the Cathedral Basilica of Saint Louis, USA. Credit: Rene Zajner. March took Tenebrae to the US for another tour of fabulous concert venues and ecclesiastical spaces. 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

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

Greetings from St. Louis, Missouri. After a gruelling early start in Pittsburgh, and not one but two flights to contend with, we were welcomed to the Gateway City with sunshine and warmth, and not a penguin in sight! Our concert took place in the magnificent Basilica; a Roman Catholic Cathedral in the west end of… continued

Having listened to and admired Tenebrae for many years, it was a delight and a privilege to be asked to compose a new piece to accompany the tour of Joby Talbot’s ‘Path of Miracles’. It has been a real treat to hear the participating choirs come together and perform ‘Footsteps’ across the country, beginning with… continued

After hugely successful tours in the UK and Australia, Tenebrae is excited to announce that we will be touring Joby Talbot’s “evocative odyssey” (The Times) Path of Miracles, to the USA in 2018. This will be accompanied by Owain Park’s Footsteps which we commissioned in 2017, which gives local choirs the opportunity to perform alongside Tenebrae…. continued
