Choral Pilgrimage 2009: PURCELL and MACMILLAN

celebrating 350th anniversary of Purcell's birth (1659) and James MacMillan's 50th birthday (16 July)

In a year of anniversaries, The Sixteen celebrates 30 years of music making and also revels in two of the country's most influential composers. Purcell may have been born 350 years ago but his music sounds as modern today as it must have done then. This year James MacMillan celebrates his 50th birthday; his setting of O bone Iesu was commissioned by The Sixteen, and it is an inspired work for a unique choir .

The Sixteen’s 30th anniversary concert

A programme of Handel and Steffani to celebrate The Sixteen's 30th anniversary. As a student in Rome, Handel met the revered Agostino Steffani and was delighted to be called by him 'a virtuoso in music'. Steffani may well have just heard the young composer's Dixit Dominus. This exuberant tour de force makes a superb contrast with the profound Stabat Mater which was to be the last work Steffani ever composed. Here for our 30th anniversary, we revive the work he wrote for London.
