Choral Pilgrimage starts

Our 2011 Choral Pilgrimage started in Oxford last night with a packed concert in Christ Church Cathedral; tonight our Tomas Luis de Victoria programme moves on to Norwich Cathedral at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from 01603 218323 and there will be some restricted view seats on sale at the door. An intense, very beautiful programme, with the poignant Litaniae Beatae Mariae to finish the concert as we think about our Japanese friends and the impact of the earthquake and tsunami.

From Norwich to Spitalfields

Another busy weekend for The Sixteen, with a sold-out Choral Pigrimage concert in Norwich Cathedral on Saturday, and then 17 mini-concerts in Silkweavers' Cottages in Spitalfields yesterday, our first project as Associate Artists at this year's Festival. Four groups of performers played in four houses for four audiences, who walked between the various venues, and then all coming together for a final event, performing pieces from John Dowland's A Pilgrim's Solace. Our next concert at the Festival is on Friday evening and includes the UK premiere of James MacMillan's Miserere.
