The Tallis Scholars, founded in 1973 by their director Peter Phillips, are internationally acclaimed for their exquisite performances and recordings of Renaissance sacred music. Renowned for their supreme clarity, precision, and blending of voices, the ensemble has established itself as a leader in the field of early music, bringing ancient sounds to contemporary audiences with unrivaled artistry. The group takes its name from the English composer Thomas Tallis, reflecting their affinity for music from the Tudor period, though their repertoire spans the entire spectrum of Western sacred music from the late medieval era through the Renaissance and into the modern era.

Over the years, The Tallis Scholars' dedication to vocal music of the Renaissance has been documented in an extensive discography that showcases the rich tapestry of polyphonic music from that period. Their recent releases emphasize the intricate and soaring masses of composers like Josquin Des Prez, John Taverner, and Jean Mouton, demonstrating their commitment to both purity of sound and historical research. With awards and accolades accompanying their every release, including the Diapason d'Or and Gramophone Awards, The Tallis Scholars continue to set the standard in the choral music domain, enchanting both connoisseurs and new listeners with the timeless beauty of polyphony.
