What's On

Cambridge University’s Grammy® and Emmy® Award-winning ambassadors for musical excellence, The King's Singers will make their only Victorian appearance at Robert Blackwood Hall, Monash University on Sunday 4 March for an extraordinary 50^th anniversary concert.  

With a discography of over 150 recordings and renowned for their technical excellence, The King’s Singers have built an enviable global reputation through their ongoing commitment to musical diversity.

Acclaimed for their life-affirming virtuosity and irresistible charm, this global phenomenon has been described by the London Times as ‘The superlative vocal sextet’ and secured a place in Gramophone magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame.

Officially formed on 1^st May, 1968 by six choral scholars from King’s College, Cambridge, the vocal line-up, which has not wavered in 50 years, features two countertenors, one tenor, two baritones and one bass.

The current singers, aged from 25 to 39 years old, share diverse backgrounds from the University of Cambridge and the University of Oxford as well as the Royal Academy of Music and the Trinity College of Music.

Along with classic audience favourites from the renaissance and the romantics to U2 and Paul Simon, the Gold concerts will feature new anniversary commissions from Bob Chilcott, Toby Hession, Nico Muhly and John Rutter.
