The Gesualdo Six

The Gesualdo Six is a British a cappella vocal sextet that has focused on English music as well as that of its namesake, with a repertory spanning from the Middle Ages to the present. The Gesualdo Six was formed in 2014 by Owain Park at Trinity College, Cambridge, for a performance of Carlo Gesualdo's Tenebrae Responsories. The Gesualdo Six became a major presence at British festivals, including the Holy Week Festival and Christmas Festival at St. John's Smith Square. Along with St. John's Smith Square Hall, The Gesualdo Six curated composition competitions in 2016 and 2018, which attracted hundreds of entries. In 2018, The Gesualdo Six made its recording debut with the album English Motets. The group went on to issue the albums Christmas (2019), Fading (2020), and Josquin's Legacy (2021).
