Tenebrae Effect Workshop
Sing with Nigel Short of Tenebrae and explore the choir's signature vocal techniques through Lassus, Gibbons and Byrd.
Join Nigel Short, Artistic Director of Tenebrae, to sing some beautiful music and learn how Tenebrae creates its unique choral sound.
Join Nigel Short in Haileybury School Chapel to discover what makes Tenebrae's choral sound so unique. Working on music by Lassus, Gibbons and Byrd, you will cover some of the vocal techniques that Tenebrae's singers use to achieve the group's trademark 'Passion & Precision'.
Sheet music will be provided. We recommend that participants prepare the music in advance in order to get the most out of this session.
