“A hymn to the art of perfection, the Rock Stars of Renaissance music…” – The Times, UK
Over five decades of performance and a catalogue of award-winning recordings for Gimell, Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish sacred vocal music of the 15th-17th centuries as one of the great repertoires of classical music.
The Tallis Scholars have sought to bring early works to a wider audience in churches, cathedrals and venues on every continent. These include the Royal Albert Hall, the Sistine Chapel, the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall New York, the Philharmonic Hall Berlin, Saint Mark's Venice, Seoul Arts Centre Korea, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall, Beijing Concert Hall, Megaron Athens and the Opera House Sydney. The Tallis Scholars continue to develop their exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers.
This concert honours the long association between the Tallis Scholars, Peter Phillips, Daniel Taylor, and the Toronto Consort. For those in our community that treasure choral music, this is a not-to-be-missed event!
