In the Renaissance, Advent was a time of wonder, reflection, and deep quiet. For the singers of Gesualdo Six, early music is a way of life, and this concert includes centuries-old carols (you’ll already know some of them). But it also reaches across the ages, from the eternal beauty of the Tudor church right up to the 21st century, with each piece carefully chosen to evoke a sense of mystery and joy: the true meaning of Christmas.

The Gesualdo Six have everything going for them – talent, youth, stamina, confidence and years of experience of singing the most difficult vocal polyphony in the repertoire.’
