Summary
Harry Christophers leads The Sixteen at Hereford Cathedral in a programme of Spanish Renaissance masters Morales and Vivanco alongside contemporary commissions from Kerensa Briggs and James MacMillan.
Why it's fantastic
This evening pairs the sunlight of the Spanish Renaissance with two modern commissions, offering a calm sanctuary away from the daily rush. You will find yourself surrounded by the intricate, soaring vocal lines that have made this choir a household name over four decades of touring.
