On Oct. 26, The Sixteen will make its Miller debut.
The program, which will be performed at the Church of St. Mary the Virgin, will showcase works by William Byrd and Arvo Pärt.
Both composers are celebrated masters of sacred music, despite facing considerable persecution for their work. The program includes the eight-voice motet “Ad Dominum cum tribularer, ” and three works by Pärt that highlight his signature style, with its unique blend of ancient and modern.
Based in the U.K., The Sixteen is among the world’s greatest ensembles and is known for its interpretations of Renaissance, Baroque, and modern choral music.
