On stage at Birmingham's Elgar Concert Hall It was great to get the gang back together for our “Radiant Dawn” programme! Since releasing our collaborative album with trumpeter Matilda Lloyd last year, we've loved taking it on tour 🎺

It was wonderful to visit the North Wales International Music Festival over the weekend to perform ‘Wishing Tree’ 🌳 As we wrote our thank you in the Guest Book, we leafed through some of the previous entries to see who else had visited. Before us, Bryn Terfel, and before that, The King 👑

The beginning of something new… Yesterday we kicked off our Emerging Ensembles programme in collaboration with The G6 Charity. The Hepburn Four and The New Eden Consort are two of the most exciting young vocal ensembles working today.

We still can’t quite believe that really happened. Early music had its moment on the greatest stage in all of classical music on Wednesday, and we’re so proud of our performance. We’re so pleased by the response from the 2,500 people in the room, and the many more listening on BBC Radio 3 🎶

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 03/09/2026

What. A. Night. Last night we performed to some 2,500 at the Royal Albert Hall. That feeling is indescribable, but it’s something that we’ll remember for the rest of our lives. It was a chance for our favourite music to take centre stage on the biggest of all stages. ❤️

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 01/09/2026

Tomorrow. Our Royal Albert Hall debut at the BBC Proms.

Back in Bristol! Here we are looking suitably delighted to have returned to one of our oldest haunts, the south western English city, Bristol. All Saints’ Clifton is a building we have performed in many times, and it was particularly good to share one of our newest programmes ‘Vaults of Time’ ♥️

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 31/07/2026

It feels like yonks ago, but July began in Brisbane with the final stop of our Australia tour. Since then, we’ve given 10 concerts across Europe and the UK, as well as our Renaissance Music Weekend 2026. We’ve all earned a bit of rest and are now enjoying a couple of weeks of summer holidays. 🏝️

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 28/07/2026

These guys ♥️ Renaissance Music Weekend 2026 was incredible! It’s the third edition of RMW and it was our biggest yet, with 50 participants from all around the world coming together for 3 magical days.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 21/07/2026

We’re sorry to announce that tonight’s concert with Matilda Lloyd at Abbaye du Thoronet in Provence has been postponed due to wildfires in the area. Our thoughts are with everyone affected by these devastating events, including the festival team who have been forced to cancel all their concerts.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 19/07/2026

We reunited with Matilda Lloyd for our joint programme “Radiant Dawn” in Richmond, the second collaboration of our Ryedale Festival residency, following a late-night performance with cellist Josephine Knight 🎻

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 14/07/2026

A special occasion! 🎉 There’s no better way to celebrate the launch of our latest album, Wishing Tree, than with a Wigmore Hall concert live on BBC Radio 3. Thank you to everyone who turned out for this first concert at the Hall since our 5-year residency was announced.

020

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 13/07/2026

That’s a lot of happy singers! 😊 We’ve had a wonderful weekend with Vox Anima London. We shared a double bill with singers from The Carey Chorale & Meistersingers of Mississippi, first at Rochester Cathedral and then back where it all began for us: Trinity College, Cambridge.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 03/07/2026

Queensland debut: ✅ We closed out our Australia tour in style with this incredible concert hall. Sadly we didn’t have an excuse to stir the QPAC organ into life this time, but it did provide a wonderful backdrop for our programme ‘Wishing Tree’ 🌳 Catch up with our tour blogs on Patreon now 😊

We couldn’t not take a photo in front of this icon of classical music. We may have been performing elsewhere in Sydney this time, but when we last visited we sang in the Opera House itself. Coming back brought back some lovely memories, even if we were only sightseeing this time!

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 05/06/2026

Woo!! Our 11th album 🎉 “Wishing Tree” is out now. We’re so proud of this one. A collection of our favourite madrigals and folk songs from across the British Isles and the continent. Listen now - link in bio!

A weekend in the countryside 🌿 It’s been a month of recording in beautiful corners of the UK. It’s not long since we were in Sussex recording with Chelys Consort of Viols, but this weekend we were in Norfolk recording a new work - Summersuite - written for the group by Tony Britten

A new album in the works 🎙️ We’re hard at work recording “Faire is the Rose” — an album centred on the music of Orlando Gibbons and contemporary responses to his writing. All the more joyful for being in such an extraordinary building

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 30/04/2026

Collab loading ⌛️ We’ve been hard at work rehearsing for a special concert this weekend. On Sunday night, we’ll be in the beautiful Boxgrove Priory, performing alongside Chelys Consort of Viols in a programme of Orlando Gibbons and contemporary responses to this extraordinary repertoire 🎶

Fresh from her RPS Young Artist Award success, Matilda Lloyd is joining us this week for two performance of ‘Radiant Dawn’. We started working with Matilda years ago whilst studying at Cambridge, so to perform together last night back in our home town felt like a full circle moment ♥️

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 10/04/2026

As the days begin to lengthen and everything starts to blossom, it feels like a good time to share the album artwork for our next release, "Wishing Tree". Designed by Mair Park, it beautifully brings to life the verdant, summery landscapes and sun-kissed love explored in this collection of music 🎶

Here we are post-concert following a wonderful performance with the National Youth Choir of Great Britain and star-saxophonist Jess Gillam. Keep your eyes peeled for a particularly exciting collab with Jess over the coming days 👀 Next up: concerts in Paris and Cambridge with Matilda Lloyd

Good luck Owain 🍻 The G6 crèche - normally a cosy corner of a London church - will soon gain its newest member… We’re wishing Owain all the best as he begins his paternity leave. We’re grateful to Sam Mitchell, former bass with the group, who joins us over the next few weeks.

Part (or should we say Pärt) of something special 👀 We had an incredible time at St Martin-in-the-Fields last night performing Pärt’s ‘Passio’. We were joined by the St Martin’s Voices and five instrumentalists for this minimalist masterpiece.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 31/03/2026

Thank you, Amsterdam 🇳🇱 It was our first trip to the Netherlands this year, a place where we’ve made many fond memories over time. We last performed at the Muziekgebouw in 2022, and it’s always a joy to return and sing for such an enthusiastic and knowledgeable audience.

010

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 26/03/2026

What's coming up? This Sunday, we'll be performing Passion & Polyphony at the Muziekgebouw in Amsterdam. Next week, we collaborate with the National Youth Choir, joined by the brilliant saxophonist Jess Gillam.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 20/03/2026

Reasons to smile 😊 We spend a lot of our time travelling around the world doing the thing we love: giving concerts. But this week we’re enjoying a rare luxury: rehearsals, rehearsals, rehearsals! Keep an eye on our concert calendar on our website to see if we’ll be performing near you soon 📅

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 17/03/2026

We had such a wonderful time singing alongside the St Andrews Renaissance Singers who were celebrating their 70th birthday. There were over 100 of us in total and together we worked on a range of music: from the 16th-Century to a work commissioned for the weekend’s festivities by Kit McCarthy.

You know what they say, it’s always sunny in Northern Ireland… ☀️ We left a grey London behind for a radiant Portaferry, where last night we performed at the Portico of the Ards. Our programme of “Passion & Polyphony” was recorded for future broadcast on BBC Radio 3!

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 03/03/2026

Collab concerts ❤️ It was a treat to join forces again with fabulous cellist Josephine Knight in Bradford-upon-Avon last weekend. Our previous outing together was in London back in November, so it was wonderful to bring this programme of Dowland, Schubert, Monteverdi and more to Wiltshire.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 15/02/2026

Singing in America’s biggest Cathedral! We had the best time performing in this enormous building. We were at Cathedral of St John the Divine for the US premiere of ‘Death of Gesualdo’. It was a night to remember for us: a sold-out show in one of the most extraordinary acoustics on the planet.

040

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 12/02/2026

Start spreading the news… We’re in New York for two very exciting projects: an NYU panel tonight, and tomorrow’s US premiere of ‘Death of Gesualdo’. It’ll be a return to St John the Divine for us tomorrow evening the biggest Anglican cathedral in the world. And it’s a sell-out!

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 09/02/2026

Ohhh we’re half way there! 🇺🇸 So far we’ve spent a week in California and we’re onto our East Coast leg of the tour. Here we are after a concert in The Cathedral of St. John the Baptist in Savannah. We’re sad to be leaving so soon after a wonderful couple of days in this new city for the group.

020

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 06/02/2026

Enjoying our time in California! 🌞 We’ve been soaking up the winter sun while performing up the coast this week. Tonight we’re in Pacific Palisades for the final stop of this West Coast leg before heading east.

The Gesualdo Six @thegesualdosix.bsky.social · 02/02/2026

Hello from California! ☀️ We have all arrived safely in San Diego, where a morning stroll by the beach is helping us shake off the jet lag. Tomorrow we begin with a concert overlooking the crashing waves. We hope the sea lions enjoy a little Renaissance polyphony 🦭
