THE KING’S SINGERS David Hurley - Countertenor Timothy Wayne-Wright - Countertenor Paul Phoenix - Tenor Christopher Bruerton - Baritone Christopher Gabbitas - Baritone Jonathan Howard - Bass Acclaimed for their life-affirming virtuosity and irresistible charm, The King’s Singers are in global demand. Their work – synonymous with the best in vocal ensemble performance – appeals to a vast international audience. They perform over 120 concerts each year, touring regularly to Europe, the United States, Asia and Australasia. The King’s Singers are admired for their musical excellence and recognised as consummate entertainers – a class act with a delightfully British sense of humour. Their generous spirit and magical ability to move audiences have remained constant since the group’s foundation in 1968.
They have premiered more than 200 new works, including landmark compositions by Luciano Berio, György Ligeti, Krzysztof Penderecki, Toru Takemitsu, John Tavener, and most recently Eric Whitacre, James MacMillan, Francis Pott, Gabriela Lena Frank and Jake Heggie. They have also commissioned arrangements of everything from jazz standards to pop chart hits.
The King’s Singers are double Grammy® award-winning artists, honoured for their Signum Classics release, Simple Gifts, and again for their contribution to Eric Whitacre’s Light & Gold album on Decca. In June 2013 they were chosen as one of only two vocal ensembles to enter the Gramophone Hall of Fame, honoured for their unique discography of over 150 albums.
