About

The King's Singers are a British a cappella sextet founded in 1968 by six choral scholars from King's College, Cambridge. Their fixed formation - two countertenors, a tenor, two baritones and a bass - has stayed constant across more than 55 years, even as individual members have changed. The group has won two Grammy Awards and an Emmy Award, earned a place in Gramophone magazine's inaugural Hall of Fame, and commissioned over 300 works from composers including György Ligeti, Arvo Pärt and Eric Whitacre.
