The King’s Singers were formed on May 1st 1968, by six choral scholars from King’s College in Cambridge, England. The original vocal line-up was: two countertenors, a tenor, two baritones, and a bass.
The group to this day has not wavered from this formation. In 2018 they celebrated the 50th anniversary of the group’s formation. They have performed on stages throughout the world, including such establishments as London’s Royal Albert Hall, the Sydney Opera House, and New York’s Carnegie Hall. The King’s Singers have received numerous accolades over the years, including two Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and a place in Gramophone magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame.
From their official site:
The group is determined to spread the joy of ensemble singing, and leads workshops and residential courses all over the world each season. The world may have changed a lot in the fifty years since the original King’s Singers came together, but today’s group is still charged by the same lifeblood – one that wants to radiate the joy singing brings every day.
