AN award-winning group of young professional singers will raise the rafters of St Martin's Church in Worcester, this Sunday (September 4).

The Gesualdo Six, of which there are seven, have included Worcester on a summer tour which has also taken them to Jersey, Herefordshire, Bristol, Wells and Leicester.

A spokesman said: "The sextet of male voices, under the direction of Owain Park, perform beautiful unaccompanied choral music from the renaissance to the present day.

"Now in its third year, the group was founded in Cambridge from the best of the current and former choral scholars in the world famous choirs there, and they have just completed a year as resident Young Artists at St John’s Smith Square in London."

Composer and conductor John Rutter described them as, "The coolest vocal group around", imploring potential audiences to "revel in the gorgeous sounds, the spellbinding music, the programmes with something for everyone."

Owain Park said, "We're really looking forward to visiting Worcester on the last leg of our summer tour. We have friends in Worcester Cathedral Choir and we're delighted to have discovered the lovely Church of St Martin in London Road. For our afternoon concert there, which begins at 3pm, our programme will contain a real mix of repertoire, from our specialty of renaissance polyphony to folksong arrangements from around the British Isles, and a Fantasia on English children’s songs. It really does offer something for everyone."
