Summary
Harry Christophers conducts The Sixteen at The Bridgewater Hall in a programme of Pärt, Taverner and Hildegard of Bingen, featuring world premieres by Anna Clyne and Will Todd.
Why it's fantastic
Spanning centuries of stillness, this sequence pairs the ancient, haunting chants of Hildegard of Bingen with the minimalist beauty of Arvo Pärt. You will hear a brand new commission from Anna Clyne alongside music that seeks a rare moment of quiet in a busy world, lasting around ninety minutes.
