Spain’s Siglo de Oro, the Age of Gold, gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. The range of emotion covered by composers in the Spanish Renaissance is demonstrated beautifully in the selected works by Cristóbal de Morales and Sebastián de Vivanco that form the basis of this Choral Pilgrimage: Lead, Kindly Light.

These works are complemented by settings of words by two poems from Saint John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’s Nothing in Vain, and the world premiere of Kerensa Briggs’ Lead, Kindly Light, specially commissioned for the Choral Pilgrimage.

 Our Choral Workshop for Wellbeing will also be taking place on Sunday 14 June between 10.30 - 4.30pm. Under the expert guidance of The Sixteen’s associate conductor Eamonn Dougan, and Sixteen sopranos Julie Cooper and Charlotte Mobbs, this unique choral workshop combines the art of singing with the science of vocal and nutritional health.
