The Sixteen at Cadogan Hall, London
About the show
When Sir James MacMillan writes a new choral work, the world takes notice – because few living composers write with more honesty and passion. With a span of around an hour, Angels Unawares is a major new statement from MacMillan, and we are delighted to present the UK premiere in collaboration with the Genesis Foundation and Britten Sinfonia, alongside his beautiful, contemplative Nothing in Vain, and works by Tallis and Vaughan Williams’ hauntingly beautiful Tallis Fantasia.
Featuring - 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.
