Choir of King’s College, Cambridge to premiere Ross Edwards’ ‘Singing The Love’
From July to August 2019, the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge will tour Australia, presenting the world premiere of Singing the Love, commissioned for Musica Viva and the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, by Jennifer Seabrook, celebrating Ray Turner’s 75th birthday and his lifelong love of music.
Founded in the fifteenth century, the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge is arguably the world’s most famous choir and the pre-eminent representative of the British church music tradition.
Their distinctively pure tone has been honed over centuries in the vaulted stone arches of the College Chapel. Comprising 16 boys (the youngest aged seven) and 15 male university students, the Choir remains a major force by balancing unmatched history and tradition with continual growth and adventurous programming.
The repertoire in these programs reflects this breadth by showcasing pieces from the Renaissance to the present day. Leading the choir is choral conductor and organist Daniel Hyde. It was announced in May 2018 that Daniel Hyde will become the Choir’s new Director of Music in October 2019.
