The Gesualdo Six perform a wide range of music from the middle ages to the present day.

The ensemble were St John's Smith Square Young Artists for the 2015-2016 season, and in partnership with St John's Smith Square and the Music Sales Group, curated a composition competition in 2016, which attracted over 170 entries from across the globe.
