One of the final events of Bacon400, this concert of words and music from the time of the Tudors led by this world-famous consort is expected to be a sell-out. Tickets available at: tinyurl.com/cm3mkufb. They have been held for the parish for two weeks and will now go on general sale.

‘Christophers is probably the best-known choral director in the world. For 45 years, his professional vocal ensemble, The Sixteen, has set the gold standard, especially in the sacred-music repertoire.’ The Times

Any account of choral music in the early twenty-first century would be incomplete without a chapter dedicated to the work of Harry Christophers and The Sixteen. The conductor, in partnership with the ensemble he founded over 45 years ago, has set benchmark standards for the performance of everything from late medieval polyphony to new works from today’s finest choral composers. While his artistry arises from the great British tradition of cathedral and collegiate choral singing, it soars above convention to open fresh perspectives on Renaissance, Baroque and contemporary music.
