Don't miss a special performance of the Grammy award-winning British a cappella group The King’s Singers at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 8, 2018 in the Memorial Chapel on the main Redlands campus, celebrating the 50th anniversary of the internationally renowned ensemble.  Acclaimed for their life-affirming virtuosity and irresistible charm, The King’s Singers are in global demand. Consistently been welcomed on the world’s greatest stages––from the Opera House in Sydney to New York’s Carnegie Hall, their work––synonymous with the best in vocal ensemble performance––appeals to a vast international audience. While the world may have changed a lot in the 50 years since the original King’s Singers came together, today’s group is still charged by the same lifeblood––one that wants to radiate the joy singing brings every day, and that wants to give life to audiences with their vision for an exciting musical future.  It was recently announced that the School of Music will offer a Master of Music in Vocal Chamber Music beginning September 2019. Along with the new degree, the School also welcomes a new faculty member, Christopher Gabbitas of The King’s Singers. Gabbitas will team up with Professors Nicholle Andrews and Joseph Modica to deliver this one-of-a-kind program for students seeking a professional career as a choral musician.  General admission is $40. Students pay $20 with proof of student ID. Special group rates are also available.
