- The Gesualdo Six
- directed by Owain Park
We are delighted to welcome the worldfamous vocal consort The Gesualdo Six, directed by Owain Park, as it celebrates its tenth anniversary. They explore masterpieces from the golden age of polyphony in England from the fifteenth century (Walter Frye and William Cornysh), through the turbulent years of the Reformation and the Elizabethan Settlement (Tallis and Byrd) to the early seventeenth century (Tomkins, Gibbons and the East Anglian composer Robert Ramsay). This glorious music is a perfect match for the soaring arches and sublime acoustics of St Mary’s, Stoke by Nayland.
’perfectly blended vocal harmony, exquisite tuning, inventive phrasing, delicately poised textural clarity…’
