The Sixteen directed by Harry Christophers perform music by Victoria at Sherborne Abbey.

The Sixteen under Harry Christophers perform music by Tomas Luis de Victoria at Sherborne Abbey to commemorate the 400th anniversary of his death.

Live from Sherborne Abbey, Dorset

Presented by Petroc Trelawny

The great Spanish composer Tomás Luis de Victoria died 400 years ago, and to mark the anniversary, The Sixteen, conducted by Harry Christophers, are touring the country with a "Choral Pilgrimage" dedicated to his work. Victoria was one of the most significant composers of the Counter-Reformation, and his music expresses the passion of Spanish religious mysticism.
