Le chant du c(h)œur – Tenebraeoral
Choral Concert
Wednesday, 21 August 2019
7.30 pm, Zweisimmen Church
As with Berlioz and Sir Colin Davis, British musicians always had a soft spot for the art of their «best enemies» from across the Channel. The London musicians of the Tenebrae ensemble are thus ideally placing their secular choral tradition at the service of French art, creating a dialogue, bridging eight centuries, between pioneer polyphonies of the Notre-Dame School and sacred masterpieces by Francis Poulenc, the so lovable «monk and rogue».
