Tenebrae is a London-based professional vocal ensemble founded in 2001 and directed by former King's Singer Nigel Short. Its repertoire covers works from the 16th to the 21st centuries, able to combine in one long program pieces as diverse as Victoria's Officium Defunctorum, secular and sacred motets for solo voices, and Talbot's 2005 Path of Miracles. The choir has toured internationally and made recordings, including contemporary works commissioned by them. The group was awarded the 2023 Rheingau Musikpreis.
