Summary
Harry Christophers leads The Sixteen at Chichester Cathedral in a programme of Vivanco and Morales, alongside contemporary commissions by Kerensa Briggs and James MacMillan.
Why it's fantastic
Step inside the cathedral for a sequence of Renaissance polyphony and modern reflections that feels like a shared meditation. The evening balances the intricate mastery of sixteenth-century Spanish composers with a recent commission by James MacMillan, offering two hours of stillness away from the noise of the world.
