Nigel Short | direction

Multi-award-winning, notably in England, its homeland, the Tenebrae choir and its founder Nigel Short showcase tonight their passion for a cappella singing, whether in chamber format or large ensemble. A grandiose demonstration with Allegri's Miserere, a piece as legendary as Mozart's Requiem, followed by Rachmaninoff's All-Night Vigil (Les Vêpres), one of the great choral compositions of Orthodox liturgical music.
