The Gesualdo Six
Radiant Dawn
Matilda Lloyd

For this concert, the group join forces with trumpeter Matilda Lloyd who last performed for Skipton Music with the Solus Trumpet Ensemble in April 2022. Together they present a stunning programme entitled ‘Radiant Dawn’ that explores different shades of light through music. Works from the Golden Age of polyphony by Tallis and White are juxtaposed with modern compositions by Roxanna Panufnik, Alec Roth and Deborah Pritchard. Highlights include Sir James MacMillan’s In splendoribus sanctorum, a meditative and atmospheric setting from the composer’s ‘Strathclyde Motets’, alongside Richard Barnard’s Aura, co-commissioned by the artists.
