Queen of Hearts
At the heart of this programme lies a devotion to queens, both earthly and divine. The Gesualdo Six presents 16th-century polyphony which venerates the Virgin Mary, Regina Caelorum, while also memorialising queens of courtly life – Anne of Brittany, Margaret of Austria, Anne Boleyn and Mary Tudor. Blending sacred Latin texts with vernacular poetry, these works evoke a world where love, reverence and political allegiance were expressed through ritual and song.
