The Tallis Scholars
Peter Phillips director
The relatively minor Feast of the Crown of Thorns - honouring a relic of the Crucifixion - prompted from John Taverner, one of the most grandly sonorous English Masses of the Renaissance. The Tallis Scholars place a complete performance of the Mass in context with gems by two other major composers from this glorious period in English church music; Cornysh and White.

This concert also features the winners of the first NCEM Composers Award organised in association with The Tallis Scholars and BBC Radio 3. See www.ncem.co.uk/composersaward
