The Sixteen Choir

Light and Shadow: London

with Hugh Cutting (alto)

An evening of 18th-century music, including a radiant Lutheran Mass and joyful Cantata by JS Bach, alongside music from Gluck's profoundly moving opera, Orfeo ed Euridice.

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 The Sixteen bring two worlds together, in some of the 18th century’s most unforgettable music.

Bach Cantata: Darzu ist erschienen der Sohn Gottes, BWV40
Gluck Orfeo ed Euridice: Act 2
Gluck Orfeo ed Euridice: Act 3 – Ballo ultimo
Gluck Orfeo ed Euridice: Act 3 – Che faro senza Euridice?
Bach Lutheran Mass in F major, BWV233
