Gold
Vijftig jaar sublieme a capella
Vijftig jaar sublieme a capella
The King’s Singers, misschien wel het populairste vocale ensemble ter wereld, viert in 2018 het vijftigjarig jubileum. In 1968 besloten zes leden van het King’s College Choir in Cambridge in kleiner verband te gaan samenzingen. Het was het begin van een internationale zegetocht waarop de zangers zich vogelvrij door de vocale muziek bewogen. Van middeleeuwse chansons tot bewerkingen van bekende jazz- en popsongs: de heren doen het allemaal even subliem. Luisteren naar The King’s Singers is dan ook een ongekend genoegen, en al helemaal live in de concertzaal.

Fifty years of sublime a capella
The King’s Singers, perhaps the most popular vocal ensemble in the world, is celebrating their fiftieth anniversary in 2018. In 1968, six members of the King’s College Choir in Cambridge decided to work together in a smaller collective, and that marked the start of an international victory tour as the singers freely moved through vocal music. From medieval chansons to adaptations of well known jazz- and popsongs: the gentlemen can do it all with equal sublimity. Listening to The King’s Singers is an unparalleled pleasure, especially live in a concert hall. During this festive program, they will accompany you on a musical journey with music from their new album ‘Gold’, which consists of commissioned works, audience favourites and other surprises specifically composed for this anniversary. God save The King’s Singers!
Price includes one drink (in break or afterwards) and wardrobe.
