Full Event Details
This concert marks a welcome return to Silverdale for The Gesualdo Six. This programme presents a selection of Motets and Chansons from the French Court, focusing on European Queens: Anne of Brittany, Margaret of Austria, Anne Boleyn and Mary Tudor. Reflecting on these earthly regencies, devotional motets for the Queen of Heaven are interwoven with texts from the Song of Songs, appropriated to venerate the Blessed Virgin, alongside specially written chansons and motets commemorating key moments in the reign of Europe’s Queens. The programme also includes new works setting Renaissance French poetry by director Owain Park, and Ninfea Cruttwell-Reade, commissioned by the ensemble.
