Three award winning Vancouver choirs join forces for a spectacular tribute to England's greatest Renaissance composer, on the exact 420th anniversary of his death in the 500th year of his birth. This all-Tallis concert includes beloved works If Ye Love Me, Loquebantur, Salvator mundi, Magnificat, and The Lamentations of Jeremiah, and culminates in a performance of Spem in alium, his landmark 40-part motet for eight 5-voice choirs!
