Tenebrae
Nigel Short, conductor
As one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles, renowned for its passion and precision, we are thrilled to present this “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), award-winning choir for its first concert ever in Atlanta. Under the direction of Nigel Short, Tenebrae performs at major festivals and venues across the globe, from the BBC Proms and Wigmore Hall to the Sydney Festival, and has enjoyed collaborations with some of the UK’s leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Academy of Ancient Music, and Britten Sinfonia. Having earned international acclaim for its interpretations of choral works from the Renaissance through to contemporary masterpieces and its commissions of new music, this is certain to be one of the most sublime musical events in Atlanta this season.Presented by Friends of Cathedral Music at the Cathedral of St. Philip.
