Summary
Harry Christophers leads The Sixteen at The Bridgewater Hall in a programme of Pärt, Taverner and Hildegard of Bingen, featuring the world premiere of Anna Clyne’s Orbits.
Why it's fantastic
This hour-long sequence bridges nine centuries, pairing the ancient chants of Hildegard of Bingen with the meditative stillness of Arvo Pärt. It is a chance to hear a world premiere by Anna Clyne alongside choral works designed to make the busy world outside feel very far away indeed.
