Wellington choir The Tudor Consort is marking the 500th anniversary of the deaths of Renaissance composers Josquin Des Prez and Robert Fayrfax in a concert on Saturday evening.

Josquin was the most famous and respected musician of his time, while Fayrfax led the musical retinue of Henry VIII to the Field of the Cloth of Gold.

Choir director Michael Stewart talks with Upbeat about why these composers should be remembered.
