Through their recordings and concert performances, The Tallis Scholars have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music in the world. Peter Phillips has worked with the ensemble since 1973 to create, through good tuning and blend, the purity and clarity of sound which he feels best serve the Renaissance repertoire, allowing every detail of the musical lines to be heard. It is the resulting beauty of sound for which The Tallis Scholars have become so widely renowned, evidenced by their impressive collection of awards. In their 46-year history, the group has won three Early Music awards as well as the 1987 Record of the Year title from Gramophone magazine, two Diapason d’Or de l’Année awards and three Grammy nominations since 2001. In 2019, the British ensemble returns to Savannah for the third time, fifteen years after their SMF debut.
