Hailed as “the rock stars of Renaissance vocal music” (New York Times), Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars are recognized as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world. The ensemble has produced a catalogue of award-winning recordings and collaborations that have crossed musical genres by partnering with such icons as Sting, Vanessa Redgrave, Sarah Connolly, and Sir Paul McCartney. Praised for the supple clarity and tone of their vocal lines, the Tallis Scholars have appeared in top venues around the world, including a 1994 performance in the Sistine Chapel that marked the final stage of the restoration of the Michelangelo frescoes.

“Anyone familiar with Renaissance music knows that this group has attained superstardom among its ilk.”
