The Gesualdo Six

A Choral Journey II: Nachtmusik

A late-night candlelit concert

A Choral Journey II: Nachtmusik
Where shall the weary traveller find rest? For centuries, composers and poets have found inspiration in the hours of darkness, a time for dark fears and magical dreams. In this candlelit sequence of music, The Gesualdo Six are joined by Josephine Knight (cello), whose dark, resonant lines deepen the music’s nocturnal character, drawing listeners into a hushed sound world of shadowed harmonies.

‘An impressive boy band of six young singers, each individually endowed with a fantastic voice. Collectively they are simply stunningly good – smooth high notes, striking low notes, sparkling clean intonation and vocal colouring' – SWR Culture

Programme:
Dowland
A psalme before Evening praier / In darkness let me dwell / Flow, my tears
Rebecca Farthing The Horse enters Troy
Monteverdi Sfogava con le stelle / Quel sguardo sdegnosetto / Pur ti miro
Schumann Die Lotosblume
Reger Nachtlied
Owain Park Sommernacht
Rheinberger Abendlied
Schubert Die Nacht
