Full Event Details
Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Arvo Pärt: two masters of sacred music, separated by five centuries and half a continent, but united by the purity, emotion and spiritual power of their work. For more than half a century, Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars have been the world’s pre-eminent performers of early vocal music. But they’ve long since turned their intense commitment and ravishing purity of sound on vocal music from later centuries, making them the ideal ensemble to celebrate both Palestrina’s 500th anniversary and the 90th birthday of Arvo Pärt. Because after all: beauty is eternal.
