The Sixteen will celebrate its 40th anniversary with a choral pilgrimage
which will culminate in a performance on 26 October 2019 at 7.30pm
at Greyfriars Kirk.
The Sixteen has released a CD to accompany their tour
The Sixteen is a champion of Tudor Music and is conducted by Harry Christophers
CBE with associate conductor Eamonn Dougan. They have a close relationship with
celebrated conductor Sir James MacMillan who has devised a new composition for
them O virgo prudentissima based on a fragment from the Eton Choirbook which
they particularly favour.
With one eye on developing a new audience they invite people of all ages and
backgrounds to take part in the choral workshop series. There they can advise on
vocal technique and performance interpretation, under the guidance of Associate
Conductor Eamonn Dougan and singer and practical scholar Sally Dunkley.
