Tenebrae Consort – Evocations @ Cork International Choral Festival
Tenebrae Consort is an ensemble of singers handpicked from the award-winning choir Tenebrae, focusing on repertoire originally conceived for consort performance. An exceptional group of musicians, Tenebrae Consort highlights the vocal quality of the individuals who make up the trademark ‘Tenebrae’ sound whilst creating an intimate concert experience. Known for their combination of instinctive ensemble skills and masterful solo abilities, the singers also perform alongside chamber groups of leading instrumentalists and have collaborated with the Chilingirian Quartet and viol consort Phantasm. Led by Artistic Director Nigel Short, Tenebrae Consort released its debut disc, Medieval Chant and Tallis Lamentations (2014), on Tenebrae’s own label Bene Arte, which received glowing reviews from Gramophone Magazine and BBC Music Magazine.
‘Passion and Precision’ are Tenebrae’s core values. Through its continued dedication to performance of the highest quality, Tenebrae’s vision is to deliver dramatic programming, flawless performances and unforgettable experiences, allowing audiences around the world to be moved by the power and intimacy of the human voice. As part of our late-night Evocations concert, Tenebrae Consort will perform a serene and ethereal programme in Cork’s North Cathedral.
