The Sixteen return to sing at Saffron Hall
Angela Singer
The Sixteen are singing at Saffron Hall
Images of audiences queuing to hear early Tudor polyphony or
contemporary choral compositions belonged to the world of fantasy
before The Sixteen and Harry Christophers brought them to life.
The Sixteen Choir and Orchestra will be at Saffron Hall on Friday, December 20.
The concert is sold out but we have a pair of tickets for a reader to win.
The programme will include Britten's A Ceremony of carols, Walton's Mke We joy
Now in This Fest, Matthew Martin's Adam Lay Ybounden, Poston's Jesus Christ
the Apple Tree, Warlock's Corpus Christi Carol and Of a Rose by Cecilia
McDowall.
The Sixteen was founded in 1979 by its conductor Harry Christophers, whose
formative experience was as cathedral chorister and choral scholar.
