About the performance

Harry Christophers and The Sixteen return to the Festival to perform magnificent vocal repertoire by Handel. Internationally acclaimed Handelian and Festival favourite Rosemary Joshua joins as soloist for the cantata Silete venti. The concert concludes with perhaps Handel's best-loved choral work, his uplifting Dixit Dominus.

‘sang with the same combination of talent and unbridled joy that has earned them worldwide fame.' The Guardian
