The Sixteen

Join Associate Artists, The Sixteen, for a festival of Handel, including his early work Dixit Dominus which is filled by exciting and original choral-writing.

Handel became renowned as one of the great melodists of all time, and his later works are marked by bel canto refinement, as well as fizzing energy and vital rhythms.

Led by the inspirational Harry Christophers, he and his hand-picked ensemble bring fresh insight and lively enthusiasm to their performances, so that even familiar works can sound like new.
