The Tallis Scholars

The Tallis Scholars

The Tallis Scholars were founded in 1973 by their director, Peter Phillips. Through their
recordings and concert performances, they have established themselves as the leading
exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. Peter Phillips has worked
with the ensemble to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of
sound which he feels best serves the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the
musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars
have become so widely renowned. 

The Tallis Scholars perform in both sacred and secular venues, giving around 80 concerts
each year. In 2013 the group celebrated their 40th anniversary with a World Tour,
performing 99 events in 80 venues in 16 countries. In 2020 Gimell Records celebrated 40
years of recording the group by releasing a remastered version of the 1980 recording of
Allegri’s Miserere. As they celebrate their 50th birthday, the desire to hear this group in all
corners of the globe is as strong as ever. They have now performed well over 2500
concerts.
