The Tallis Scholars make a welcome return for a Christmas Programme based on the Magnificat ‘Song of Mary'. Renaissance masterpieces from Taverner, Praetorius and Palestrina are beautifully complemented by stunning works from modern masters Benjamin Britten and Arvo Pärt. This will be a truly spiritual Christmas experience.
