For more than 50 years, the legendary singers of The Tallis Scholars have earned international acclaim for performances of unparalleled purity and clarity. Founding director Peter Phillips leads these transcendent voices in a seasonal program of music from the English repertoire written about the Virgin Mary. Whether celebrating her own divinity in Byrd’s Votive Mass or her role as the mother of Christ as in Tallis’s epic Missa Puer natus, these selections are some of the most glorious works of the Renaissance. The program also includes Britten’s timeless A Hymn to the Virgin and a newly commissioned piece by Matthew Martin.
Through their recordings and concert performances, The Tallis Scholars have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which they have become so widely renowned — clear, balanced, and reverent — bringing out the finest detail in even the most intricate music. The return of this exquisite ensemble to Montréal will illuminate five centuries of English sacred music in a profoundly moving program celebrating the season of Advent: with beauty, stillness, and awe.
