Part art installation, part concert, and part immersive theatre, Secret Byrd celebrates Byrd’s remarkable story. Created by writer, director and composer Bill Barclay, former Director of Music at Shakespeare’s Globe, this immersive concert brings together vocal ensemble The Gesualdo Six and viol consort Fretwork to perform Byrd’s Mass for Five Voices for an intimate audience in The Black Abbey.

Commissioned by the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields and Washington National Cathedral, and presented to rapturous acclaim in cities across the US, Secret Byrd is a concert experience like no other: a thrilling mix of music and drama that recreates the experiences of Catholics in Tudor England and makes a powerful and timely plea for tolerance.
