Houston Friends of Chamber Music presents The King's Singers, Tuesday, December 7, 2010.

The King's Singers are the group that has "stayed" in character over four decades yet returned itself to the times with recordings from the classics and top ten hits. They are truly remarkable and continue to be one of the most sought-after and critically acclaimed vocal ensembles in the world.

Internationally recognized for their classical work, they retain the sparkle that delights so many fans when they perform much loved numbers from the lighter end of the repertoire. The King's Singers are instantly recognizable for their spot-on intonation, impeccable vocal blend, flawless articulation and incredible timing.

They will be performing a Holiday program you won't want to miss.

The King’s Singers maintain a deep commitment to new choral music and have commissioned over 200 works from a host of prominent contemporary composers including Richard Rodney Bennett, Luciano Berio, Peter Maxwell Davies, György Ligeti, Steve Martland, Gian Carlo Menotti, Krzysztof Penderecki, Ned Rorem, John Rutter, Gunther Schuller, Toru Takemitsu, and John Tavener. This season The King’s Singers will premiere works by Ivan Moody, Gabriela Lena Frank, John McCabe, Bob Chilcott and Eric Whitacre.
