Through his choral workshops, conductor Nigel Short aims to provide an insight into the elements which make Tenebrae’s sound and interpretation to music so unique. Participants are instilled with performance skills essential to a Tenebrae performance, focusing on all-important teamwork and communication as well as accuracy and musicianship.
