O Tenebroso Giorno: Gesualdo Then and Now | Exaudi

Exaudi returns to the Wigmore Hall with a programme of madrigals old and new: works by Gesualdo are interspersed with new madrigals by Michael Finnissy, Christopher Fox and Stefano Gervasoni, commissioned for Exaudi's's on-going collection, the Italian Madrigal Book.

Pinpoint accuracy and emotional engagement were among the qualities that hooked critics and audience alike when Exaudi celebrated its tenth anniversary in style at Wigmore Hall last October.

The vocal ensemble’s mighty powers of persuasion extend back to the world of early music and inhabit the most complex and inventive of contemporary works, many of the latter written for the group and its director James Weeks. EXAUDI’s artistry, founded on an unshakeable commitment to excellence and musical adventure, owes its unforgettable force to the individual brilliance of its members.

Pre-concert talk at 6pm
