The King's are cult. And a cultural highlight of our music festival. With their perfect blend of vocal artistry, charming entertainment and inimitable wit, they never fail to delight audiences. This ensemble has been writing music history for almost 60 years and is a benchmark for the entire a cappella world. Even though the line-up has changed many times, their masterful programs from Renaissance to pop have remained the same.
