The Gesualdo Six is a vocal consort specialising in the performance of renaissance polyphony, directed by Owain Park. The group were 2015/16 St John’s Smith Square Young Artists and, after their popular appearance in the inaugural Holy Week Festival, they are delighted to return with a programme of Renaissance and modern works united by themes of despair, loss, peace and hope, concluding with beautiful lullabies by Byrd and Tormis. This concert will last around 45 minutes without an interval.
This concert is part of our Holy Week Festival, curated in partnership with Tenebrae. View Festival >
