TENET is an early music ensemble based in New York. It was founded as the Tiffany Consort by organist and composer Nicholas White, along with soprano Jolle Greenleaf and others. Tiffany Consort released two CDs: O Magnum Mysterium (2004), which was nominated for a Grammy award, and In Sure and Certain Hope (2007). White left the group in 2009, but the ensemble continued under a new name, TENET, and artistic director, Jolle Greenleaf[1]. TENET focuses on vocal music from the Middle Ages to the present, sung one voice to a part.
TENET is best known for its annual Green Mountain Project, which is a yearly event featuring either Claudio Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610, or other Vespers by Monteverdi and his contemporaries. The Green Mountain Project, named for the English translation of Monteverdi, started in 2010 to celebrate the 400th anniversary of the publication of the Vespers of 1610[2], and continues yearly in New York[3][4] and Boston[5][6]
Other projects include TENEbrae[7], a yearly concert series during Lent; ODES[8], a yearly celebration of St. Cecilia's day; and UNO + ONE[9], featuring Jolle Greenleaf and Molly Quinn, TENET's regular sopranos.
