A theatrical concert celebrating the 400-year legacy of William Byrd

Witness this extraordinary theatrical concert, celebrating the 400-year legacy of William Byrd, one of England’s finest composers.

The Gesualdo Six collaborates with Fretwork viol ensemble in an immersive performance by candlelight, created and directed by Bill Barclay and produced by Concert Theatre Works.

Imaginative production brings the music to life, soup and bread are shared to foster a sense of ritual and inclusivity. Audiences rove freely amongst the costumed artists feeling the original hand-made partbooks, all illuminated by candlelight. This living museum is a concert experience like no other.
