Concert Information

Peter Phillips (Director of The Tallis Scholars) returns to conduct the Â鶹Éç Singers in a programme bookended by the music of John Tavener. Phillips was closely associated with Tavener and his music, and in the setting of St Peter’s Eaton Square conducts the UK premiere of The Martyrdom of St Stephen alongside Requiem Fragments, a work premiered by Phillips and The Tallis Scholars at the Â鶹Éç Proms in 2014. Requiem Fragments is preceded by Josquin des Prez’s Qui Habitat, the work that influenced Tavener’s Requiem composition. Alongside works by Thomas Tallis and Thomas Crecquillon are pieces by 21st century composers Matthew Martin and Nico Muhly.
