King’s Singers 50 years young

From Upbeat, 1:40 pm on 5 March 2018

The King’s Singers are here as part of their whistle-stop ‘Gold’ world tour to celebrate 50 years in the business.

Known for their intonation, vocal blend, diction and timing, the King’s Singers will be joined on stage by our top professional choir Voices New Zealand – who are also celebrating, in their case their 20th anniversary.

The concerts in Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland this week feature especially commissioned anniversary pieces by contemporary composers Nico Muhly, Bob Chilcott and New Zealand’s Leonie Holmes.

For New Zealand baritone Christopher Bruerton the tour is a rare chance to sing in his hometown of Christchurch.  Eva Radich spoke to him about his six years in the dream job.
