We are thrilled to present England’s most accomplished vocal
ensemble, the King’s Singers. The King’s Singers delight audiences
around the world with their incomparable musicianship, charm and
wit. The King’s Singers repertoire is all encompassing, from medieval
music to masterpieces of the Renaissance, from lieder to folk, pop
and jazz. The list of venues at which they have appeared includes
cathedrals and palaces as well as all the world’s major concert
halls. The ensemble will present a workshop during the day, and an
evening concert on December 2, at Opstad Auditorium.
"…still unmatched for their musicality and sheer ability to entertain."
-- London Times
"…and captivating personality, spiced with occasional humor and always
conveying the sheer joy of singing, whether in a Byrd motet, a folksong
arrangement, or a Beatles tune."

"This year marks their 40th anniversary and while none of the current members was in at the beginning, it is recognisably the same ensemble with the same characteristics: immaculate harmony, minutely synchronised delivery, identikit blazers and ties. This opening concert [Cadogan Hall, London -- April 2008] of its birthday celebrations could easily have been a greatest hits package."
