The award-winning The Gesualdo Six returns with a program inspired by the ancient service of Compline, which marks the close of the day and the onset of night. This contemplative concert pairs Renaissance polyphony by masters such as Thomas Tallis, Carlo Gesualdo, and John Sheppard with contemporary reflections by Sarah Rimkus, Joanna Marsh, and Gerda Blok-Wilson.
