50, 60, 70: Reasons to celebrate with the Tallis Scholars

Peter Phillips and the Tallis Scholars

The Tallis Scholars celebrates its 50th anniversary this year and as part of the celebrations Peter Phillips and the vocal ensemble will be giving a concert at Middle Temple Hall on 3 November 2023, 50 years to the day from the first ever concert that Peter Phillips and The Tallis Scholars gave at the Church of St Mary Magdalen, Oxford in 1973. In the 50 years since that first concert, Phillips has presided over 2500 concerts with them.

For the celebrations, Phillips and the vocal ensemble will be giving a 50th anniversary tour performing over 90 dates at sacred and secular venues across Europe, the United States and the Far East over the 2022/23 season. 

Before then on 6 October 2023, they release John Sheppard's Missa Cantate on the Gimell label, the group's second album of music by Sheppard and its 60th original recording for the label. Also in October, the group's founder, Peter Phillips celebrates his own 70th birthday!
