Harry Christophers live in Chichester

Experience Harry Christophers live on September 19th

Harry Christophers will conduct a concert at Chichester Cathedral on September 19, 2026. Christophers is renowned for his interpretations of Baroque and early Classical music, frequently focusing on choral works. His approach emphasizes clarity of line, historically informed performance practice, and a vibrant, expressive delivery, often drawing upon scholarship to recreate the sound world intended by the composers. He founded The Sixteen, a highly acclaimed vocal ensemble, in 1979 and continues to work extensively with choral and orchestral forces.

Chichester Cathedral has origins dating back to the 11th century, initially constructed on the site of a previous Saxon church following the Norman Conquest. Significant rebuilding occurred in the 13th and 15th centuries, resulting in its current Gothic architectural style. Notably, the cathedral features an exceptionally tall spire – one of the tallest in Britain – completed in the early 15th century. Throughout its history, Chichester Cathedral has been closely linked with musical tradition; it boasts a long-standing choir foundation and has hosted numerous significant musical performances over centuries. The cathedral’s acoustics are particularly well-suited for vocal and instrumental music due to its stone construction and spacious interior.
