In perfect harmony

IWAS delighted to see that The Sixteen were included in your list of ‘50 things Britain gave the world’ (July 5). They are indeed a superb choir and one of the joys of living here in East Sussex is to listen to their pitch-perfect harmony within the marvellous acoustic of Glyndebourne Opera House each December. This Christmas concert provides the perfect start to the festivities, our Sussex hospices benefit and, as we are invited to participate in some carols at the end, we all leave for home in the knowledge that we too have sung at Glyndebourne!
