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.

The Sixteen
After 40 years of worldwide performance and recording, The Sixteen is recognised as one of the world's greatest ensembles. Comprising both choir and period-instrument orchestra, The Sixteen's commitment to the music it performs is its greatest distinction. A reputation for performing early English polyphony, Renaissance masterpieces, Baroque and early Classical music and a diversity of 20th and 21st century music, is drawn from the passions of conductor and founder Harry Christophers CBE.
