Overview:

The Tallis Scholars, led by director Peter Phillips, return to Japan to celebrate the sublime beauty of Renaissance polyphony. Widely considered one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles, they are renowned for their tonal purity and precise choral blend, bringing centuries-old sacred music to life in some of Japan’s most acoustically prestigious venues.

Founded in 1973, the ensemble has dedicated decades to exploring the vast repertoire of the Renaissance. This 2026 tour offers a rare opportunity for Japanese audiences to experience the “Wood Hall” of Kanagawa and the iconic Tokyo Opera City Concert Hall through the crystalline voices of these early music masters.
