Director, Owain Park; trumpet, Matilda Lloyd
The Gesualdo Six is an award-winning British vocal ensemble comprising some of the UK’s finest consort singers, directed by Owain Park. Praised for their imaginative programming and impeccable blend, the ensemble formed in 2014 for a performance of Gesualdo’s Tenebrae Responsories in Cambridge and has gone on to perform at numerous major festivals and events across the UK, Europe, North America, Australia and New Zealand. They are often heard on BBC Radio 3 and in other broadcasts. This programme will range widely from the Tudor era to today: from Thomas Tallis and Hildegard von Bingen, to Judith Bingham, Roxanna Panufnik, James MacMillan, Owain Park and many others.
The Gesualdo Six is committed to music education, and prior to this concert is conducting a workshop for singers at Joyce Frankland Academy, in Newport, Essex.
‘In terms of gleaming vocal purity, The Gesualdo Six, directed by Owain Park, are hard to beat.’ Fiona Maddocks, The Guardian
