About this Event
Described by the Washington Post as one of the world’s premier vocal ensembles, the Tallis Scholars bring their acclaimed sound to St. Andrew in Old Town Pasadena with a luminous Easter season program. Centered on Victoria’s Missa O magnum mysterium, the concert traces stories of wonder and revelation, from Christ’s birth to resurrection.
Victoria’s seminal Missa O magnum mysterium, celebrating the miracle of the virgin birth, is the concert’s centerpiece, amplified by motets by Tallis, de Wert, and Slovenian composer Jacobus Gallus exploring Christian themes of wonder and awe. Contemporary Estonian composer Arvo Pärt illuminates Christ’s teachings in his powerful Tribute to Caesar, and marvels at the appearance of the Virgin of Guadalupe in Virgencita.
“These ten singers displayed the floating silkiness, light without seeming insubstantial, that has been Tallis’s trademark over its remarkable career” (The New York Times).
"A hymn to the art of perfection." (Maria Sánchez, bachtrack)
“... as near extraterrestrial as you can get sitting in a concert hall” (Fiona Maddocks, The Observer)
