The Sixteen were in Lichfield and York in mid-July as part of their 2009 Choral Pilgrimage.

Near sell-out crowds braved the torrential rain to hear the group perform the a cappella Purcell & MacMillan programme ‘Bright Orb of Harmony’.

Before our rehearsal in Lichfield, hundreds of primary school children took part in a matinée performance. Based on a narration telling the story of Purcell’s life they sang pieces from the Pilgrimage programme as well as a rendition of ‘Come ye sons of art’ with actions!

This was the last matinée in a series of four that we’ve presented in collaboration with the National Centre for Early Music and Sing Up.
