A fabulous concert featuring some of Handel's most equisite and well-known Coronation Anthems concludes The Sixteen's season with Music at Oxford. This will also be the last concert in the Sheldonian before it closes for work to be carried out to replace the ceiling frescoes.
“One of the most outstanding choirs in a country renowned for choral music...Harry Christophers moulds his vocal ensemble with consummate musicianship, and the performances have seamles intensity.”
