Great Malvern Priory
ENGLISH GLORIES
Directed by Nigel Short
Described as “phenomenal” (The Times) and “devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine), award-winning choir Tenebrae, under the direction of Nigel Short, is one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles renowned for its passion and precision. Tenebrae performs at major festivals and venues across the globe, including the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Rheingau Musik Festival and Sydney Festival. The choir has earned international acclaim for its interpretations of choral music from the Renaissance through to contemporary masterpieces. In Malvern, Tenebrae perform a programme of 16th-century English repertoire, with works by Thomas Tallis and William Byrd at its heart, music that is perfectly suited to the acoustic and atmosphere of Great Malvern Priory.
