We compute the supersymmetric partition function of the six-dimensional (2, 0) theory of type A(N-1) on S-1 x S-5 in the presence of both codimension two and codimension four defects. We concentrate on a limit of the partition function depending on a single parameter. From the allowed supersymmetric configurations of defects we find a precise match with the characters of irreducible modules of W-N algebras and affine Lie algebras of type A(N-1).
