King's Singers
The “superlative vocal sextet”, as the Times of London refers to it, was officially born at the King's College in Cambridge in 1968. The group has since maintained an a cappella sextet formation with two countertenors, a tenor, two baritones and a bass.

Although there has been a succession of 28 soloists over the years, the ensemble's distinctive style has remained, with a perfect vocal mixture known as the “pyramid of sound”. For over half a century, The King's Singers have been cheered all over the world because they represent the best of a cappella performance and have found their own key to connecting with the audience. The accuracy of their interpretations and their faithfulness to the classical repertoire – paired with a desire to attenuate distinctions between the genres – are always complemented by a lightness, an unmistakable touch of comedy, a typically English “drollery” capable of creating a particular intimacy with the audience.
