We are delighted to welcome one of the world's most celebrated vocal ensembles to open this year's festival. The King's Singers remain consummate entertainers; a class-act with a delightfully British wit. To mark the Diamond Jubilee of the reign of Queen Elizabeth II in 2012, The King's Singers have created a lively programme of secular music from the reigns of some of the Queen's more colourful forebears, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Victoria. |
