The King’s Singers
The King’s Singers are David Hurley (countertenor), Paul Phoenix (tenor), Philip Lawson (baritone), Christopher Gabbitas (baritone), Stephen Connolly (bass) and new recruit 26 year-old Timothy Wayne-Wright (countertenor). Since the group was founded at King’s College, Cambridge 41 years ago, there have only ever been twenty-two King’s Singers including the current six: very few given the demanding nature of the full-time job which requires a unique blend of musicianship, vocal ability and charisma, not to mention the stamina to be on tour for nine months of the year. The won a coveted Grammy Award in 2009 and continue to be one of the most sought-after and critically acclaimed vocal ensembles in the world.
