The Tallis Scholars, founded in 1973 by Peter Phillips, have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. With over 2,500 performances and dozens of award-winning recordings, the ensemble has built a reputation for "perfectly blended, tonally focused, wonderfully tuned singing" (Cleveland Classical). Celebrating their 50th birthday this season, the Tallis Scholars will present a holiday program featuring music by the masters of the late Renaissance. The program provides a fresh look at the Christmas story, viewing it from the point of view of the shepherds who came to worship at the manger.
The concert will be held at Wofford College in historic Leonard Auditorium. Admission is free, but reservations are required. Doors open at 6:30 p.m.
