The Tallis Scholars
$30-$50
The world-renowned Tallis Scholars return to the Pacific Northwest. The Seattle (3 May 2022) program features the stunningly beautiful Requiem by Tomás Luis de Victoria, and the Portland program (4 May 2022) features Antoine Brumel’s monumental 12-voice “Earthquake Mass” Et ecce terræ motus (“And the earth moved”) with a premiere of David Lang’s new work sun- centered, a reflection on doubt and belief in an age of scientific discovery, inspired by the history surrounding Galileo and his earth-shattering observations.
About The Tallis Scholars
Over five decades of performance and a catalogue of award-winning recordings for Gimell, Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars have done more than any other group to establish sacred vocal music of the Renaissance as one of the great repertoires of Western classical music.
They have sought to bring Renaissance works to a wider audience in churches, cathedrals and venues on every continent on the planet except Antarctica! These include the Royal Albert Hall, the Sistine Chapel, the Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall New York, the Philharmonic Hall Berlin, Saint Mark's Venice, Seoul Arts Centre Korea, Shakespeare's Globe Theatre London, Concertgebouw Amsterdam, Wigmore Hall, Beijing Concert Hall, Megaron Athens, and the Sydney Opera House.
The Tallis Scholars continue to develop their exclusive sound, praised by reviewers for its supple clarity and tone, and to bring fresh interpretations to music by contemporary as well as past composers, such as Pärt, Tavener, Whitacre, Muhly, and Jackson.
