Experience The Gesualdo Six

The Gesualdo Six, a British vocal ensemble founded in 2014 by Owain Parker, has rapidly established itself as a leading interpreter of Renaissance polyphony. Named after the notoriously complex composer Carlo Gesualdo, the group’s repertoire centers around 16th and 17th-century sacred music, though they increasingly explore contemporary works responding to or inspired by this period.

Known for their rich, blended sound and meticulous attention to detail, The Gesualdo Six consistently delivers performances characterized by expressive phrasing and dynamic control. They’ve garnered critical acclaim for albums like *Gesualdo: Tenebrae Responses* (2018), nominated for a Gramophone Award, and *A New Aurora* (2021), which reached #1 in the Specialist Classical Charts.

Their discography extends to include works by Palestrina, Victoria, and Sheppard, alongside commissions from composers like Roxanna Panufnik. The ensemble frequently performs at major festivals internationally, including the Wigmore Hall and the Festival d'Ambronay. Beyond performance, The Gesualdo Six are committed to education through workshops and outreach programs, fostering appreciation for early music amongst wider audiences.
