The King's Singers

Wigmore Hall

The King’s Singers were officially formed in 1968 when six recent choral scholars from King’s College, Cambridge gave a concert at London’s Queen Elizabeth Hall. By chance, the group was made up of two countertenors, a tenor, two baritones and a bass, and the group has stuck to this singular formation ever since that debut.

Ils sont quatorze chaque année, pour toute l'Angleterre, à pousser la porte du prestigieux King’s College de Cambridge. Parmi ces élus figurent à la fin des années 1960 les six choral scholars à l’origine des King’s Singers. Six étudiants, six amis, immergés en permanence dans la pratique individuelle et commune du chant, et qui un beau matin décident de mettre leurs capacités au service d’un répertoire plus… «fun»: celui de leurs loisirs, de leur âge, de leur époque. Depuis, le groupe a bien sûr évolué, mais la recette reste la même et le succès est intact; plus de 150 albums documentent leur immense répertoire. Après «Horizon» en 2012, «Black Humor» en 2015 et «Gold Standards» en 2018 (pour célébrer leur demi-siècle de scène), ils sont de retour à Saanen avec un programme à leur image: multicolore. Littéralement incontournables en cet été 100% british!
