The King's Singers have set the gold standard in a cappella singing on the world’s greatest stages for over 55 years. They are renowned for their unrivalled technique, musicianship and versatility, which stem from the group’s rich heritage and its drive to bring an extraordinary range of new and unique works to life. The King’s Singers’ extensive discography has led to numerous awards, including two Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and a place in Gramophone magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame.

The King’s Singers were formed in 1968 when six 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 kept this formation ever since.

In the last few years, the group has recorded a series of diverse albums, many of them in collaboration with renowned artists, that showcase the huge breadth of their repertoire. Tom and Will honours two great English Renaissance composers, Thomas Weelkes and William Byrd; Such Stuff as Dreams are Made on explores Romantic music; When You Wish Upon a Star celebrates 100 years of Disney, with 28 brand-new arrangements of iconic Disney songs; Close Harmony is a double-album focused on the group’s library of signature pop, jazz and folk arrangements; and Wonderland highlights the extraordinary body of music commissioned by The King’s Singers from leading composers.

Growing the global canon of choral music has always been one of the group's key aims, and The King’s Singers have now commissioned more than 300 works by many of the most prominent composers of the 20th and 21st centuries. These composers include John Tavener, Ola Gjeilo, Joe Hisaishi, Judith Bingham, Eric Whitacre, György Ligeti, Luciano Berio, Krzysztof Penderecki and Toru Takemitsu. All this new music joins their body of bespoke a cappella arrangements which have sold millions of copies around the world through publishing partner, Hal Leonard.

Alongside their demanding performing and recording schedule – with over 100 concerts worldwide every season – the group leads educational workshops and residential courses across the globe, working with ensembles on their approaches to group singing. To mark their 50th anniversary in 2018, they founded The King’s Singers Global Foundation (based in the USA), to provide a platform to support the creation of new music, to coach new generations of performers and composers, and to provide access to musical opportunities to people of all backgrounds.
