The Sixteen, one of the world’s most renowned musical ensembles, present a live concert created specifically for the unrivalled intimacy of the candlelit Sam Wanamaker Playhouse.

In a hectic and challenging era, the world-famous choir strives to enhance listeners’ lives with performances that exhilarate, soothe and provide moments of stillness. They expertly breathe life into an ancient choral traditional, making music of the past feel contemporary, and contemporary music feel timeless.

There are few spaces as perfect for The Sixteen’s beautiful work as the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse: its quietness and closeness are such that audiences will be enveloped in waves of sound; and the mesmeric candlelight will calm, heal, and hypnotise in equal measure.

Those lucky enough to listen can expect to be treated to a transcendental musical experience – as profound for those new to choral music, as those who know it well. This performance promises to be truly special.
