The Tallis Scholars will be playing a memorial concert in honor of Jack Sheehan as part of the Union College Concert Series on Sunday, April 10 at 7 p.m. in Union College's Memorial Chapel.
John “Jack” Sheehan was an admirer and supporter of the Union College Concert Series, who died just over a year ago. To honor his memory, Friends of Jack are sponsoring the renowned Tallis Scholars in their capital district debut appearance.
Tallis Scholars program will include Mass, 'Malheur me bat' by Josquin des Prez, and other 16th century music by Gombert, Byrd, Compere, deMonte and Lassus.
The Tallis Scholars are a distinguished group of ten singers from Britain, women and men, directed by Peter Phillips. They have been strong proponents of Renaissance sacred music for the past 30 years.
