Tenebrae (UK)
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.

The Broken Consort (Cambridge MA)

Emily Lau, voice/percussion/artistic director
Clare McNamara, voice/vielle/assistant director
Camila Parias, voice
Brian Kay, oud
Peter Walker, voice and bagpipesr

The Broken Consort is an adventurous, exuberant, and committed professional early music ensemble based in Boston, MA. Originally established by a group of graduate students that set out to change the standard presentation and interpretation of early music, TBC is now an ensemble with a stellar roster of outstanding young stars and experienced veterans. The Boston Musical Intelligencer recently described us as “early music turned early magic,” hailed our “extraordinary sonorousness,” and praised us for a performance that “bewitched and beguiled.” Although our programming regularly ventures into many different time periods, our specialty is virtuosic vocal and instrumental repertoire from the Middle Ages.

“Burgos, 1275”: Soundscape of 13th c. Iberia
Set in 13th c. Iberia where Christians, Muslims, and Jews coexisted and made music together, the soundscape this particular period and space took on a very unique quality.
For this program, The Broken Consort tell a story with music from the Las Huelgas Codex, one of the most stunning manuscript of early Iberian polyphony. Along with it, will be humorous, magical, and exotic tunes about Virgin Mary from the largest collection of medieval music to-date: the Cantigas de Santa Maria. Of special interests are the Andalusian-Arabic and Sephardic tunes passed on mostly by oral traditions. Together, we hope to take our audience on a time-traveling journey.
