The Sixteen: The Choicest Music of the Kingdom

 

Live Music, Choir.

2020 sees the 500th anniversary of the birth of William Cecil, Lord Burghley, the driving force behind Queen Elizabeth I's reign for four decades. Appointed High Steward of Westminster in 1561 it is fitting that a celebration of music from his era should be held in St Margaret's Church. The Sixteen perform a selection of sacred Tudor choral pieces, some of which will have been commissioned by Lord Burghley or his son themselves.
