The Gesualdo Six: Fading

$75/$65 Adult | $20 Student | $10 Child

“Weavers of rich and plangent aural tapestries, The Gesualdo Six meld style and substance with beguiling sure-footedness” (BBC Music Magazine). The award-winning British vocal ensemble directed by Owain Park, creates a sound that seems to “float in mid-air before reaching the ears of the rapt audience […] every line, every gorgeous texture” (The Times). For their return to the Elora Festival, The Gesualdo Six present Fading, a serene program inspired by the ancient service of Compline. The contemplative atmosphere includes Renaissance polyphony by Palestrina, Tallis, and Gesualdo that contain startling harmonic shifts and expressive word painting. Then there is a turning point: the light returns, birds sing, and flowers bloom once more, with reflections by Veljo Tormis, Franz Schubert, and Gerda Blok-Wilson.
