Genesis Sixteen is The Sixteen’s new training programme which aims to nurture the next generation of talented young voices and specifically to bridge the gap from student to professional practitioner. This short film gives a behind-the-scenes glimpse into the intense training the participants received in their first week-long course with Harry Christophers and other key artists from The Sixteen.

The productive partnership between The Sixteen and the Genesis Foundation continued with the release in May 2011 of a CD of six new choral works from three of Britain’s most exciting contemporary composers: Tarik O’Regan, Roderick Williams and Ruth Byrchmore.  This is an excerpt from Ruth Byrchmore's The Dark Night, commissioned by the Genesis Foundation.
