A Celebrity Recital - The Sixteen, Holy Trinity Church, 7.00pm

A chance to hear one of the world’s greatest vocal ensembles here in Oswestry! Founded 32 years ago by its eminent director, Harry Christophers, the choir has built an almost unrivalled reputation for its singing of the greatest masterpieces from the Renaissance and Baroque repertoire. Renowned for the total commitment it brings to the study and performance of these great works, The Sixteen regularly tour Europe, Japan, Australia and the Americas, and performs in some of the most prestigious Festivals worldwide. In 2009/10 it featured in the highly successful BBC TV series ‘Sacred Music’, and has become even more widely known to the British public through its ‘Choral Pilgrimage’, begun in 2000. This remarkable scheme (the choir’s contribution to the millennium celebrations) takes it each year to many of the greatest cathedrals and churches in the land. It has a massive recording output, and since 2001 has successfully developed its own label, ‘CORO’, with well over 80 titles!

The programme for their eleventh Choral Pilgrimage comprises some of the finest music ever written by Tomas Luis de Victoria (1548-1611), marking the 400^th anniversary of the composer’s death. Don’t miss this opportunity to hear sublime music sublimely sung!
