Since 1968, the King's Singers have been the epitome of excellence in a capella singing, gracing the world's most prestigious stages. Their extensive discography has led to numerous awards including two Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and a place in Gramophone magazine's inaugural Hall of Fame. The group formed when six choral scholars from King's College, Cambridge, gave a concert at London's Queen Elizabeth Hall. By chance, the group was made up of two counter-tenors, a tenor, two baritones, and a bass, and it has maintained this formation ever since that debut.
