Directed by Nigel Short, Tenebrae is one of the world's leading vocal ensembles, prized for the combination of cathedral-scale intensity and chamber-choir precision. Its repertoire ranges from Renaissance masterworks to contemporary choral music, with regular appearances at major international festivals and venues including the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall, Elbphilharmonie Hamburg, Rheingau Musik Festival, and Sydney Festival. Tenebrae's performances are famous for their theatrical focus and ravishing control: the kind of singing that can make a single chord feel like architecture.
