“...impeccable intonation, unfailing rhythmic vitality...” – The Times

Experience the pure, angelic voices of the Boys of King's College, one of the world's best known representatives of the great British choral tradition.

Led by music director Stephen Cleobury, this world-famous choir will perform a repertoire of choral favourites from Bach, Purcell, Mendelssohn, Handel and Hadyn, accompanied by a string ensemble comprising some of Singapore’s best musicians – Chan Yoong Han (violin), Michael Loh (violin), Tan Wee Hsin (viola), Chan Wei Shing (cello) and Yang Zhengyi (double bass) – and organist Peter Stevens performing organ solos and an organ concerto.

Internationally recognised as the pre-eminent representative of the great British church music tradition, the choir owes its existence to King Henry VI who envisaged the daily singing of services in his magnificent chapel. Today, famous for its many recordings, the choir is heard on radio by millions all over the world and has travelled to the USA and Canada, South Africa, Australia, Hong Kong, Macau, Taipei and Tokyo. The choir has worked with many distinguished soloists and orchestras including the London Philharmonic Orchestra under Kurt Masur.

Performed in English, Latin and German. 110mins, including 20min intermission.
