Miller Theatre at Columbia University School of the Arts wishes you Happy Holidays with Christmas Across Centuries featuring The Tallis Scholars.

Miller Theatre constantly seeks ways to enrich the concertgoing experience. This new season sees developments on two fronts: concert-as-theater, and artist residencies.

This spring, Carnegie Hall celebrates the resurgence in interest in recent decades of the performance of the music of the late Renaissance and early Baroque eras.

This April, Carnegie Hall presents the preeminent a cappella vocal ensemble The Tallis Scholars in two events as part of its month-long Before Bach focus. From April 13 to 17, the group and its director Peter Phillips lead a workshop for 37 pre-professional singers presented by Carnegie Hall's Weill Music Institute on choral masterworks of the Renaissance. Over five days, Mr. Phillips and members of The Tallis Scholars prepare the singers to join them in a program to include a composite mass setting drawn from Antoine Brumel's dramatic Missa Et ecce terrae motus (the 'Earthquake' Mass) with Tomas Luis de Victoria's Missa Salve regina, and concluding with Thomas Tallis's sonorous 40-part motet 'Spem in alium,' recently featured in the book and film adaptation of E.L. James's best-selling novel Fifty Shades of Grey. The workshop culminates with a performance by The Tallis Scholars and the workshop participants on Friday, April 17 at 8:00 p.m. at the Church of St. Ignatius Loyola. The program also features works by Orlando Gibbons, Thomas Weelkes, Robert Cowper, and John Sheppard.

The Sixteen and its founder and conductor Harry Christophers return to their roots, revisiting the golden age of Renaissance polyphony in England with The Voice of the Turtle Dove. The new recording from The Sixteen's CORO label, available this month from Allegro Classical, is a stunning selection of music by three exceptional Tudor composers: Richard Davy, John Sheppard, and William Mundy. Christophers and the choir performed Mundy's Vox patris caelestis at their first ever concert in May 1979 and it is from this work, based on a text from the Song of Songs, that the phrase 'the voice of the turtle dove' is drawn. 'Each one of these works is a real gem just waiting to be discovered by a wider audience,' says Christophers, 'This music is part of our great heritage and I look forward to you reveling in its monumental beauty and sheer magnificence.'
