Following their previous hugely successful concerts, we are delighted to welcome the return of the King’s Men to St. Peter’s Church, Stockton.
The King’s Men is a close harmony a capella group formed out of the choral scholars of the chapel of King’s College, Cambridge. During term time, the choral scholars follow a daily routine of chapel services and also undertake a schedule of concerts and recordings during vacations. The choir is perhaps most famously known for its broadcast of the Nine Lessons and Carols services each Christmas on television and radio. The King’s Men is a group of around 16 choral scholars from the chapel choir which functions separately and is managed by the scholars themselves, performing concerts around Britain and abroad. Each Summer, the King’s Men divide into two groups and undertake two concert tours, one in the South of England and the other in the North. Their repertoire typically ranges from traditional church choral music to lighter close harmony arrangements of folk, spiritual and modern popular music, demonstrating exquisite harmonies and solo voices. Also, their programme usually includes a couple of organ pieces performed by a chapel organ scholar. |
