Orpheus, they say, made music so beautiful that even stones responded to his song. Many music lovers would say something similar about Johann Sebastian Bach, and tonight The Sixteen bring two worlds together, in some of the 18th century’s most unforgettable music. The stories are timeless, but when performed by The Sixteen, every note will ring fresh and true.
