For 40 years The Tallis Scholars have served as early music’s most visible advocates of Renaissance choral repertoire. This celebratory program of spiritual works spans four centuries, featuring some of the group’s favorite pieces from the past four decades of performing—including music by Renaissance masters Tallis and Josquin as well as lesser-known pieces by John Sheppard and Cipriano de Rore. The repertoire will also include the world premiere of a new piece by composer Michael Nyman, commissioned by Miller Theatre in honor of this milestone anniversary.
The commissioning of Michael Nyman’s new work is made possible, in part, by the generous support of Mary Sharp Cronson.
