The multi-awarded British ensemble Tenebrae presents its phenomenal interpretation of Victoria’s Requiem mass for six voices (1603): this masterpiece is one of a handful of large-scale works which enjoys mainstream appeal still today. A selection from Victoria’s Tenebrae Responsoria will complement this profound and dark programme. You will experience the power and intimacy of the human voice of Nigel Short’s ensemble, often described as devastatingly beautiful. “Passion and Precision” is their irresistible motto.
