Date: 
Thu, 16/02/2012 - 8:00pm



The King's Singers - A Cappella / Sydney Opera House

The world’s most acclaimed vocal ensemble makes their long awaited return to Australia.

With a vast repertoire that ranges from medieval to renaissance, romantic to contemporary, folk and pop, The King’s Singers are instantly recognisable for their spot-on intonation, their impeccable vocal blend, the flawless articulation of the text and incisive timing. Described by Gramophone Magazine as ’enchanting the ear from first to last note’, The King’s Singers are renowned as consummate entertainers; a class-act with a delightfully British wit.

With a prolific discography of over 150 recordings and with sold-out concerts across the globe, The King’s Singers have garnered both awards and significant critical acclaim. Their studio album Simple Gifts was awarded a Grammy in 2009 and they won Best Concert DVD at the MIDEM Classical Awards for their BBC Proms performance at the Royal Albert Hall in 2010.

On their first tour of Australia in nearly three decades, we are delighted to be able to welcome them to the Sydney Opera House to perform a wonderful program of early music, Australian and English folk song, spirituals and contemporary pop classics.
