The King’s Singers have represented the gold standard in a cappella singing on the world’s greatest stages for over fifty years. They are renowned for their unrivaled technique and consummate musicianship, drawing both on the group’s rich heritage and pioneering spirit. The British vocal ensemble makes its Newport debut with a brand-new program full of music that spans centuries and covers the globe. Expect the group’s trademark sound, their unique charm, and a variety of classical a cappella music you’ll find nowhere else.
