The Sixteen
The Sixteen gave its first concert in 1979 under the direction of founder and conductor Harry Christophers CBE, and celebrated its 45th anniversary this year. Its pioneering work since has made a profound impact on the performance of choral music and attracted a large new audience, not least as ‘The Voices of Classic FM’ and through BBC television’s Sacred Music series.
