King's Singers to perform at BYU-Idaho
The King's Singers, one of today's most famous a cappella groups, will perform at Brigham Young University-Idaho in Rexburg Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 26 and 27, in The Barrus Concert Hall as part of the Center Stage Performing Arts Series.
Tickets for the 7:30 p.m. concerts are $24 for the general public and $12 for BYU-Idaho students. They may be purchased at the BYU-Idaho Ticket Office by calling 496-2230 or online at www.byui.edu/tickets.
From medieval to renaissance, romantic to contemporary, folk and pop, their repertoire is all encompassing. As well as performing in many of the world's major concert halls the list of venues at which they have appeared is equally diverse, including many European cathedrals, the Hollywood Bowl, Shea Stadium (home of the New York Mets) and Windsor Castle (a private concert for the Royal Family).
Started in 1968 by six choral scholars from King's College in Cambridge, England, the King's Singers quickly became a prominent musical force in the United Kingdom. The rest of the world soon followed so that today the group's engagements are spread throughout the four corners of the globe.
In December the King's Singers performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir in their annual Christmas concert in Salt Lake City.
