World-leading choir Tenebrae and the pioneering Third Culture Collective launch their exciting new collaboration at the ICS. 

Tenebrae and Third Culture Collective come from very different traditions: one rooted in complex harmony and notation, the other in raga-based intricacy and improvisation. The two groups have come together to forge One Voice: a seamless sound world of western choir, soaring Hindustani vocals and resonant instrumental textures. 

Following an informal sharing in London, the two ensembles have created a full programme of reimagined works and new arrangements – and you can hear it first at The Bridgewater Hall. Don’t miss it.
