Synopsis

Recognised internationally as the gold standard in close harmony a cappella singing, The King’s Singers invites choral and ensemble singers to discover their artistry up close in this tailored workshop.

 

Working on pre-prepared pieces of music, The King’s Singers will take you on a musical journey in a relaxed environment, introducing three concepts that shape their art: active listening, active breathing and vertical thinking. Some key aspects of ensemble singing that will be explored include breathing, text, balance, blend, intonation, vocal colour, among others.

 

This workshop is a highly sought-after opportunity for singers from ensembles and choirs to work with The King’s Singers and receive feedback to achieve the best possible sound. The workshop will end with a short Q&A session.

 

Hear the beautiful harmonies of The King’s Singers live on 14 Mar 2025 at the Esplanade Concert Hall.

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 drive to bring an extraordinary range of new and unique works, collaborations and recordings 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.

 

In the last few years, the group has recorded and released a series of diverse, collaborative albums showcasing their wide repertoire. These albums feature songs from the English Renaissance, Romantic music, iconic Disney songs, signature close harmony arrangements and newly commissioned music.

 

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.

 

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 across multiple disciplines, to coach a new generation of performers, and to provide musical opportunities to people of all backgrounds.
