Choral Concert: Sixteen (The) – MACMILLAN, J. / TODD, W. / P

The last year has seen The Sixteen form a fascinating partnership with the UK based Genesis Foundation. In 2008 the Foundation commissioned three new works from James MacMillan, Roxanna Panufnik and Will Todd all based on the prayer of Capuchin priest, Padre Pio: Stay With Me, Lord. The result was the creation of three very different, but equally powerful works which were premiered in a performance by The Sixteen at Westminster Cathedral in June 2008 to great reception. In May 2009 CORO will be releasing all three works on disc accompanied by a number of other works by each of the three composers.
