MELBOURNE FESTIVAL
Described as “phenomenal” (The Times) and
“devastatingly beautiful” (Gramophone Magazine),
award-winning choir Tenebrae is one of the
world’s leading vocal ensembles renowned for
its passion and precision. Directed by Nigel Short,
Tenebrae has twice secured the award for Best
Choral Performance in the BBC Music Magazine
Awards (2012 and 2016), and its recording of
Fauré’s Requiem with the London Symphony
Orchestra was nominated for the Gramophone
Awards (2013). Tenebrae’s highly-acclaimed
interpretations of choral music include repertoire
ranging from the Renaissance through to
contemporary choral masterpieces and the choir
has appeared at major festivals including the
BBC Proms, Edinburgh International Festival
and Montreux Choral Festival (Switzerland).
