Regularly performing 100 concerts every season complemented by recording and teaching, the King's Singers delight audiences around the world with their incomparable musicianship, charm and wit. With their latest album release Landscape and Time described as possessing ‘singing of rare distinction', and ‘stunningly high musical standards', they have maintained their place at the apex of a cappella singing, and are counted amongst the world's elite classical performers. In 2008 the ensemble celebrates 40 years of music making.

Their repertoire is all encompassing; from medieval music to masterpieces of the Renaissance, from lieder to folk, pop and jazz or with a contemporary commission from a leading composer, they are constantly expanding their repertoire. Above all it is their simple enjoyment of what they do that has captured the imagination of the public all over the world. As the London Times puts it, they are ‘still unmatched for their musicality and sheer ability to entertain.' Worcester Three Choirs Festival is delighted to welcome The King's Singers in their 40th anniversary year. www.kingssingers.com
