The Sixteen Concert
The Queen of Heaven
In 2013 world-renowned choir The Sixteen will present its most far-reaching
Choral Pilgrimage tour yet, encompassing 34 concerts around the UK.
The tour, entitled The Queen of Heaven, will see Harry Christophers CBE
and his choir perform glorious music in churches and cathedrals
for which it was written. The group will take you through the musical
evolution of the Allegri’s legendary and much-requested Miserere.
The programme also features stunning music by the ‘Prince of Music’
Palestrina, as well another brilliant yet contrasting setting of the
Miserere by James MacMillan.
