Event Series: The Gesualdo Six

St Peter’s Cathedral Music Foundation: The Gesualdo Six & Festival Statesmen

27 June @ 7:00 pm - 9:30 pm AEST

Renowned for its consort singing, The Gesualdo Six begins its Australian tour at MONA’s Elektra – Anselm Kiefer’s colossal concrete amphitheatre. In Sydney, Lux Aeterna spans Tallis, Gesualdo, Tavener and contemporary composers including Joanna Marsh and Richard Rodney Bennett, while Hemispheres is a collaborative program of luminous polyphony with St James’ Choir. The British vocal ensemble then performs alongside the Australian Boys Choir in Melbourne, as well as joining forces with the Festival Statesmen and St Peter’s Cathedral Choir in Adelaide. The tour concludes with two performances of The Wishing Tree at UKARIA and Brisbane’s QPAC, tracing Byrd, Josquin, Stanford, Poulenc and British folk traditions.
