Peter Phillips directs the Grammy-Award winning Tallis Scholars in a beautiful evening dedicated to the Virgin Mary. Works of the profoundly spiritual composers of the Renaissance celebrate the difficulties and the joys of life. Through their recordings and concert performances, they have established themselves as the leading exponents of Renaissance sacred music throughout the world.
