Help our wonderful audiences to relive The Sixteen’s performances and secure a flourishing and rich future choral heritage by supporting a recording or new commission.
The Sixteen exists both to preserve and grow the great choral canon. New commissions are crucial for a flourishing and rich future choral heritage, and thanks largely to our long-standing partnership with the Genesis Foundation and their commissioning programme, The Sixteen has over the past 20 years premiered – and for the most part recorded – 34 new pieces, mainly all Genesis Foundation commissions. In a recently committed strand to our activity, The Sixteen pledges to commission a minimum of one new choral work each year, to be programmed within the Choral Pilgrimage tour.

In addition to commissioning new works, we also want to record as much of our work as we can and have ambitious future plans. Your support will help us to add to our extensive library of over 200 recordings in our efforts to keep choral music alive and thriving.
