There are also a limited number of general admission tickets available for a socially-distanced performance in Hall One at Kings Place at 5pm. To book tickets for this please visit the Kings Place website. Entitled Music for Reflection, Harry Christophers writes ‘Those months have given us lots of time to reflect on what is important to us: live performance and connecting with our audience; now we will treasure it even more keenly. Our programme allows us to reflect on our lives and the lives of people around us. It is framed by two double choir litanies both prayerful yet full of hope, whose final prayer is echoed by the women of Canterbury in TS Eliot’s final chorus from Murder in the Cathedral. Music by Josquin, Sheppard and Arvo Pärt offers an amazing range of sonic variety, texture and subtle use of silence. This music is deeply felt by all of us at The Sixteen.’ With narration from TS Eliot’s Murder in the Cathedral [St Thomas Becket d1170] Kings Place, London DD/MM/YYYY
