Tenebrae (UK) http://www.tenebrae-choir.com/

Nigel Short, Founder/Director


Tenebrae is a professional chamber choir from Great Britain, founded by Nigel Short and Barbara Pollock. Often performing by candlelight, the choir creates an atmosphere of spiritual and musical reflection, where medieval chant and renaissance works are interspersed with contemporary compositions to create an ethereal mood of contemplation. Its members are drawn from the ranks of many distinguished choirs: the Monteverdi Choir, the choirs of Westminster Abbey and Cathedral, and King’s College Cambridge. Many of Tenebrae’s singers have worked with leading vocal groups, including I Fagiolini, Tallis Scholars, Swingle Singers and The King’s Singers. Contributing to the dramatic qualities of Tenebrae’s performing style are singers from Britain’s two major opera houses, Covent Garden and English National Opera.
