Following a sell-out performance in 2016, we are delighted to announce the return of The Sixteen, under esteemed founder and conductor Harry Christophers, who will perform festive works by composers including Warlock, Howells, Byrd, Palestrina and Walton.

The Sixteen is recognised as one of the world’s greatest ensembles. Comprising both choir and period-instrument orchestra, The Sixteen’s total commitment to the music it performs is its greatest distinction. A special reputation for performing early English polyphony, masterpieces of the Renaissance, bringing fresh insights into Baroque and early Classical music and a diversity of 20th-and 21st-century music, is drawn from the passions of Founder and Conductor Harry Christophers.

The Sixteen are ‘The Voices of Classic FM’ and Associate Artists of The Bridgewater Hall, Manchester. The group promotes The Choral Pilgrimage, an annual tour which aims to bring music back to the buildings for which it was written.

Over 140 recordings, including many award-winners, reflect The Sixteen’s quality in a range of work. In 2009 The Sixteen was given the accolade of Classic FM Gramophone Artist of the Year as well as winning Best Baroque Vocal for its recording of Handel’s Coronation Anthems.

This performance takes place at Uppingham School Chapel.
