World-renowned choir and period-instrument ensemble the Sixteen and their founder/conductor Harry Christophers mark 13 years together with a concert at the Barbican Centre. Few works are as celebrative as Handel's Messiah and the Sixteen should know it better than most — this is their 150th performance of the baroque masterpiece. Vocal stars on stage for the rousing chorus include BBC New Generation Artist scheme soprano Elizabeth Watts, mezzo-soprano Catherine Wyn-Rogers, Classic FM Gramophone Awards finalist tenor James Gilchrist and bass Christopher Purves.
