The Sixteen

I've been familiarizing myself with The Sixteen due to "the connection" and ran across a series of videos filmed at St. Martin-in-the-Fields on June 13, 2023, shortly after the Hibiya Music Festival.

In all of them, there's a young person watching attentively from the balcony in the upper right and I've been wondering if it's anyone we know. Unfortunately, my old eyes just aren't up to the task of being able to tell one way or the other. I'm leaning toward not, but I thought I'd throw the question out to our more sharp-eyed fans to see if they could make a final determination.

Note that there are several other videos from this concert posted to their channel.

It's a beautiful piece of music, and I love Byrd's compositions. Well performed too! Thanks for the link.

The person we know, although left-handed, wears a watch on the left. The person in the balcony appears to wear a watch on the right so they are probably not one and the same.

Wow. That is some detailed information I did not know. Thank you for confirming that for me.

The Sixteen are performing in the Proms again this year and I have them tentatively bookmarked (but there are three other proms I want to go to more, and a 4th might be overdoing it) But I'll see how I feel on the day and go for Promming tickets if I do.
