Monteverdi's Vespers of 1610 | The Sixteen

The Sixteen perform one of the cornerstones of the classical repertoire, Monteverdi's monumental Vespers of 1610, famed for its thrilling rhythms, grand choruses and beautiful solo movements. Harry Christophers says 'theVespers is one of the most significant collections of sacred music ever written. We will follow Monteverdi's dictumrecitar cantando - speak through singing - to maximum effect, bringing this glorious work to life in the wonderful acoustics of some of the UK's finest cathedrals.

We are delighted that the choristers of Peterborough Cathedral will join The Sixteen on stage for the Sonata sopra Sancta Maria section of the Vespers.
