About this concert
The Tallis Scholars perform Rachmaninov’s ravishing Vespers – music of deep passion and endless consolation for an autumn night. Rachmaninov didn’t only write epic symphonies and glittering concertos – and he loved his Vespers above all his other works. Radiant, impassioned and rooted in a deep and heartfelt faith, they gave their composer ‘an hour of the most complete satisfaction’, bringing profound consolation in the depths of the First World War. Every performance generates an unrepeatable atmosphere, and today the Vespers form the heart of a whole evening of choral beauty from The Tallis Scholars. If you’ve already heard them at Cadogan Hall, you’ll know that their ‘gloriously golden’ (The Guardian) sound and effortlessly expressive singing has touched audiences all over the world. And if you haven’t, there’s no more magical introduction to this glorious chamber choir. PROGRAMME Rachmaninov Vespers Additional repertoire to be announced PERFORMERS The Tallis Scholars Peter Phillips director

The Tallis Scholars Biography
The Tallis Scholars are a British vocal ensemble normally consisting of 10 members.
Formed in 1973 by their director Peter Phillips, they specialize in performing a cappella sacred vocal music written during the Renaissance by composers from all over Europe. They are currently recognized[citation needed] as one of the world leaders in this field, having risen to a place of prominence among other professional ensembles.
They record widely on their own label, Gimell Records, which boasts a world-wide distribution and some 40 releases spanning repertoire from over 150 years of music history (approximately the years 1450–1600). Their touring schedule brings them to America at least twice a year and Japan at least once every two years.
They are well known among music lovers and academics alike and have paved the way for many younger groups such as The Sixteen, The Cardinall's Musick, The Clerks Group, The Binchois Consort, Trinity Baroque, and the Gabrieli Consort.
Various members of the group have scholarly interests on top of their activities as professional musicians with Phillips having published a scholarly text ("English Sacred Music 1549-1649": London: Gimell Records, 1991) and Sally Dunkley, Francis Steele, and Deborah Roberts all active as music editors and publishers with interests spanning the Renaissance and early Baroque.
