Overview

Many of the world’s most famous living composers have written for The King’s Singers over the course of their history. 'Masterpiece' is a selection of some of their most iconic commissions – each masterpieces in their own right – from the last 54 years and all over the world. True to form, in this unique programme The King's Singers combine these original masterpieces with music from the Renaissance right up to the present day, and will include Joby Talbot's The Wishing Tree and the world première of a brand new commission by Ola Gjeilo.
