The King's Singers
In 2008 The King's Singers celebrated 40 years of music making. They perform over a hundred concerts every season and manage to fit in regular recording and teaching.
Their recent album
'Landscape and Time' ensured their place at the
apex of a cappella singing and classical music.
From medieval to masterpieces of the Renaissance; from lieder to folk, pop and jazz or with a contemporary commission from a leading composer, they are constantly expanding their repertoire.
