For many, Christmas is a time of traditions and reflection. The Sixteen, one of the best choirs in the world, is no exception. They present a musical journey through the centuries, ranging from folkloristic winter songs and Medieval Christmas carols to Hildegard and William Byrd in Yuletide moods.
|
Founded in 1979 by Harry Christophers with the aim of singing Renaissance music, The Sixteen has grown beyond its original sixteen singers – and has become one of the world’s greatest choirs. |
