The Sixteen: Masters of Imitation

Harry Christophers leads The Sixteen, widely regarded as one of the world’s leading vocal ensembles. Celebrated for unmistakable warmth of sound, precision, and expressive intensity, The Sixteen performs regularly on the world’s foremost concert stages. Masters of Imitation pays tribute to the musical art of borrowing, reflecting, and transforming. At its heart is the sensual and refined music of Orlando di Lassus and Josquin des Prez, where fragments of earlier works are woven into new, radiant creations. Recorded live in concert June 4, 2026 as part of the Stockholm Early Music Festival.
