The Gesualdo Six, formed in March 2014, is an acclaimed British vocal ensemble comprised of some of the UK's finest young consort singers, under the direction of Owain Park. Named after the Italian Prince and composer Carlo Gesualdo, known for his expressive music and turbulent personal life, The Gesualdo Six has quickly established itself as a group that excels in a wide range of music styles encompassing early English polyphony, European renaissance, and contemporary works.

The ensemble has an impressive catalog of recordings, demonstrating their versatility and depth in exploring both historical and modern compositions. "Morning Star: Music for Epiphany Down the Ages" showcases the group's ability to evoke the spiritual journey of the Epiphany through varied eras of musical expression. Works like "Byrd: Mass for Five Voices; Ave verum corpus; Lamentations & Other Works" reveal their dedication to the mastery of renaissance polyphony, while recordings such as "Lux aeterna: A Sequence for the Souls of the Departed" affirm their capacity for conveying the profound emotions associated with sacred liturgical music. The Gesualdo Six's distinctive blending of voices and delicate phrasing consistently garner praise, earning them a respected place among contemporary classical vocal ensembles and delighting audiences both in the UK and internationally with their refined performances and thoughtful programming.
