The Tallis Scholars
TUESDAY, MARCH 28 AT 7: 30 P. M.
U.K. ensemble The Tallis Scholars have celebrated the rich legacy of Renaissance vocal music for more than 40 years, performing in both sacred and secular venues across the globe. Their exclusive sound has been praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and they bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers. Performing in Chattanooga for the first time, their program is entitled Metamorphosis — highlighting four iconic texts of the Christian tradition — Magnificat, Lord’s Prayer, Ave Maria, and Nunc Dimittis. The texts will be presented in contrasting settings by Renaissance and Contemporary composers including Praetorius, Sheppard, Tavener, Stravinsky, Eccard, Gallus, Torrentes, Holst, Mouton, and Pärt. Tickets available online or at the door: $50, General; $25, Students.
