The Sixteen at the York Early Music Festival
As part of their annual Choral Pilgrimage, The Sixteen and conductor Harry Christophers stop at York Minster to perform Spanish Renaissance music for the York Early Music Festival.
The Sixteen and their conductor Harry Christophers stop at York Minster as part of their annual Choral Pilgrimage, to perform as part of the 2026 York Early Music Festival.
Spain鈥檚 Siglo de oro, the "Age of Gold", gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. The Sixteen explore majestic works by Crist贸bal de Morales, famed throughout Europe and in the New World, and the exquisite polyphony of Sebasti谩n de Viv谩nco, whose intricately crafted counterpoint adorned services at the cathedrals of 脕vila and Salamanca. The programme also features spellbinding settings of words by St John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan鈥檚 "Nothing in vain", and the world premiere broadcast of NCEM Young Composers Award alumna Kerensa Briggs鈥檚 "Lead, kindly light".
Recorded at York Minster on 4 July 2026. Presented by Hannah French.
