Program

The award-winning British choir Tenebrae, directed by Nigel Short, is internationally renowned for performances of extraordinary clarity and emotional depth. The ensemble appears regularly at major venues and festivals worldwide, including the BBC Proms, Wigmore Hall, and the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. 

Their program, A Prayer for Deliverance, brings together choral works that reflect on rest, solace, and spirituality. Music by Caroline Shaw, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Joel Thompson leads to the centerpiece of the evening: Herbert Howells’ luminous Requiem, one of the most moving works in the English choral tradition.
