The Sixteen

Orpheus, they say, made music so beautiful that even stones responded to his song. Many music lovers would say something similar about Johann Sebastian Bach, and tonight we bring two worlds together, in some of the 18th century’s most unforgettable music.

When Sir James MacMillan writes a new choral work, the world takes notice, because few living composers write with more honesty and passion. With a span of around an hour, Angels Unawares is a major new statement from MacMillan coupled with a brilliant libretto written by Robert Willis, former Dean of Canterbury Cathedral, completed shortly before his untimely death in autumn 2024. Who better to give the work’s UK premiere than The Sixteen and the Britten Sinfonia, both tireless champions of MacMillan’s work?
