The Gesualdo Six at Penn Live Arts

Award-winning British vocal ensemble The Gesualdo Six, acclaimed for its flawless intonation, “precision and fluency” (The Guardian), makes its Philadelphia debut in a performance of English Renaissance masterpieces spanning 200 years. Encompassing florid medieval-sounding pieces by Forest and Sheryngham, intricately woven polyphonic works by Tallis and Byrd and the beautiful simplicity of Gibbons and Tomkins, expect an evening that is “ingeniously programmed and impeccably delivered, with that undefinable excitement that comes from a group of musicians working absolutely as one.” (Gramophone)
