Tenebrae
Tenebrae is a professional chamber choir formed and founded by King's Singers alum Nigel Short. It has established itself as a leading international choir through its performances, active touring schedule, and growing recording catalog, as well as educational and community engagement programs.
Tenebrae was conceived by Short while he was a member of the King's Singers; he was looking for a group with more flexibility for performing. Tenebrae was founded in 2001 by Short and Barbara Pollock, with Short serving as the artistic director since its founding. Tenebrae's premiere came in London in 2001, with a performance of Short's The Dream of Herod. Short's work was part of Tenebrae's debut recording, which came shortly after its formation. A unique aspect of Tenebrae's performances is in performing only in candlelight and that the choir moves about the venue during its appearances. The difficulty of which led to the lighting -- as it were -- being taken care of in-house by Short and Tenebrae. The group's repertoire covers choral music from the Renaissance through newly commissioned works by such composers as Judith Bingham, Owain Park, and Roderick Williams, the first of which, Path of Miracles by Joby Talbot, came in 2005.
Tenebrae has toured widely internationally and is very active in the U.K., where it has performed with other leading ensembles, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Britten Sinfonia, and the Academy of Ancient Music. Tenebrae's 2012 recording of Victoria's Requiem Mass of 1605 earned a Best Choral Performance Award from BBC Music Magazine, capturing that prize again for 2016's Brahms, Bruckner: Motets. Tenebrae also earned its first Grammy nomination in 2016 for the album Music of the Spheres on the Bene Arte imprint.
In 2017, Tenebrae launched an annual Holy Week Festival at St. John's Smith Square. Each year this festival offers performances from Tenebrae as well as other esteemed ensembles and soloists such as the BBC Singers, Voces8, and violinist Lana Trotovsek. Tenebrae has established an Associate Artist program, an educational and mentorship program for professional singers still early in their careers, in addition other workshops and programs for amateur musicians, ensembles, and students at disadvantaged schools. In 2018, the group issued three albums, including A Walk with Ivor Gurney with the Aurora Orchestra, mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly, and narrator Simon Callow. Returning in 2022, Tenebrae was heard on the albums When Sleep Comes with saxophonist Christian Forshaw and the Christmas album In Winter's House; like much of its recording catalog, these albums were issued on the Signum Classics label.
