Tenebrae - A Prayer for Deliverance 

24 May | St John's Kirk as part of Perth Festival of the Arts

Mixing iconic choral works with music by some of today’s most exciting composers, award-winning choir Tenebrae returns to Perth Festival of the Arts with a varied programme centring on the theme of rest, repose and acceptance – a sequence of mostly English choral gems spanning close to two centuries.

It opens with Holst’s popular The Evening-watch, a setting of Henry Vaughan and a meditation on the Body’s final hours. 

Joel Thompson’s virtuosic new work is a particular highlight of the first half: written in 16 parts, A Prayer for Deliverance (2021) perfectly showcases Tenebrae’s core values of passion and precision.

The second half features Herbert Howells’ Requiem – surely one of the most moving works in the English choral repertoire.
