The Gesualdo Six

A Choral Journey I: Wishing Tree

A Choral Journey I: Wishing Tree
An hour of music inspired by nature, reflection and renewal, woven from haunting folksongs, Renaissance polyphony and contemporary voices. Wishing Tree is a gently contemplative programme, shaped around ideas of memory and quiet transformation, ideally suited to an intimate afternoon performance.

‘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:
Byrd
This sweet and merry month of May
David Bednall Put out into the deep
Vaughan Williams Bushes and Briars
Alison Willis The Wind’s Warning
Joby Talbot The Wishing Tree
James Whitbourn The Lark in the clear air
Anna Semple My bonny lies
Christen Holmes Summer Shower
Josquin El Grillo
Gibbons The Silver Swan
Stanford The Blue Bird
Owain Park When love speaks
Poulenc Petites Voix
Gordon Langford The Oak and the Ash
