King’s Singers navigate vocal ‘Landscapes’

The King’s Singers, six of the most glorious voices in the world, will appear Friday as a Baltimore Symphony Orchestra at Strathmore Special Presentation.

Founded at King’s College, Cambridge in 1968, the British ensemble has a repertoire encompassing sacred and secular works from the 1200s to the present. Masters of many languages and musical genres, they boast over 70 recordings and a Grammy nomination. Their current tour highlights their latest recording, “Landscapes & Time,” a diverse collection of modern works by English, American, Finnish, Hungarian and Estonian composers. Their brilliant harmonies enhance these languages, as well as the Japanese text in “Remembered Love,” a work they commissioned from American composer Jackson Hill.
