The Gesualdo Six

Lux Aeterna

The award-winning British vocal ensemble The Gesualdo Six makes its Tetbury debut in 2026 with a poignant, hopeful sequence of sacred music containing radiant choral writing from across the centuries.

Highlights include Tallis's polyphonic masterpiece Absterge Domine, alongside the astonishing harmonies of Gesualdo in Plange quasi virgo. Both composers beautifully capture a sense of vulnerability in their works, asking for forgiveness and protection.

From more recent times, there are the poetic settings of Joanna Marsh and Richard Rodney Bennett, who call on us to enjoy all that life has to offer. Elsewhere, pieces by Tavener and Morales present a series of questions, seeking reassurance. Chosen for the closing Sunday concert, this is an uplifting sequence for the souls of the departed.
