About the Gesualdo Six

Praised for their imaginative programming and impeccable blend, the group formed in 2014 for a performance of Gesualdos Tenebrae Responsories in Cambridge and has gone on to perform at numerous major festivals around the world.
"A remarkable concoction, sung with exquisite precision and subtle, tender manipulation."

Weavers of rich and plangent aural tapestries, The Gesualdo Six meld style and substance with beguiling sure-footedness.
