Tenebrae

A professional chamber choir founded and directed by former King's Singer Nigel Short. Performing in ecclesiastical buildings by candlelight, the choir creates an atmosphere of spiritual and musical reflection, where medieval chant and renaissance choral works are interspersed with contemporary compositions to create an ethereal mood of contemplation. The singers are choreographed to move around their surroundings exploring all possible sound perspectives. A Tenebrae performance provides an opportunity for pure meditation or simple enjoyment.
