On their eleventh album for Hyperion, The Gesualdo Six explore a more secular repertoire, drawing on music they have performed live since their formation in 2015.

The programme spans Renaissance works celebrating nature and love, alongside contemporary settings of texts by Christina Rossetti and Kathleen Jamie. Themes of childhood and innocence run throughout, interwoven with imaginative reworkings of traditional British and Irish folk songs.

As director Owain Park describes it, Wishing Tree is “a journey through time, poetry and song, rooted in tradition yet alive with contemporary expression.”

The ensemble continues to tour internationally, performing over 150 concerts annually across Europe, the Americas, and Asia, while also commissioning new works and engaging a global digital audience.
