The King's Singers

The King's Singers is a British mainly a cappella vocal ensemble who celebrated their 40th anniversary in 2008. Their name recalls King's College in Cambridge, England, where the group was formed by six choral scholars in 1968. In the United Kingdom, their popularity peaked in the 1970s and early 1980s. Thereafter they began to reach a wider international audience, appearing frequently on the Johnny Carson show in the U.S. In February 2009 their CD, Simple Gifts, won a Grammy Award for Best Classical Crossover Album.

Today the ensemble travels worldwide for its performances, appearing in around 125 concerts each year, mostly in Europe, the U.S. and the Far East, having recently added the People's Republic of China to their list of touring territories. Recent UK performances have included 40th anniversary concerts at the Cadogan Hall, London, on April 30, 2008, and the following day in the chapel of King's College Cambridge, several appearances in the Albert Hall Proms, and a concert for the Three Choirs Festival.
