The Gesualdo Six
Owain Park director

[FFAdminMKS]

Owain Park directs The Gesualdo Six in a journey through five centuries of madrigals, from English Tudor composer Thomas Weelkes (celebrating his 400th anniversary this year) and Orlando Gibbons to contemporary composers Judith Weir and Sarah Rimkus.
