The esteemed Tallis Scholars return for their annual appearance with a program celebrating the Christmas season through exploration of Gregorian chant. The gorgeous program explores the history of this sacred tradition through three different styles: the conventional chant, the interpretation by the 12th-century abbess Hildegard of Bingen, and Arvo Pärt’s reimagining of it.

Church of St. Mary the Virgin

Its title referring to the ‘wondrous mystery’ of Christ’s birth, Jacob Handl’s motet, published in 1586, encapsulates a theme that welcomes music by contemporary composer Cecilia McDowall within a Renaissance programme.

Wigmore Hall

The remarkable Stile Antico marks its twentieth season by honoring the 500th anniversary of one of the greatest masters of Renaissance polyphony, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina, whose career was inextricably intertwined with the Papacy and the great churches of Rome for which he composed. The program includes some of the composer’s most beloved and timeless motets, gems by other leading composers active in Rome at that time, and a new work by British composer Cheryl Frances-Hoad, written especially for this occasion.
