One of the world’s most renowned choral ensembles, The Sixteen return to Canterbury Festival with a powerful exploration of the music of Arvo Pärt and William Byrd in this, Pärt’s 90th year. Whilst from very different eras, both composers are considered masters of sacred music, despite having faced considerable persecution for their work.
The Sixteen bring their tonal warmth, rhythmic precision and immaculate intonation to over five centuries of music, under the direction of founder and conductor Harry Christophers CBE. Sponsored by Furley Page
