The six Englishmen known as The King's Singers enjoy a reputation as one of the world's most sought-after a Capella vocal ensembles. In over thirty years, this pre-eminent group has never diminished and has shared one of the widest

THE KING'S SINGERS: FROM BYRD TO THE BEATLES features the band performing some of their favorite works, a classic selection of old and new songs. Mixed in with the performance is footage of the group's remarkable recording session of Thomas Tallis' "Spem in Alium," a piece which captures the challenges of recording a 40-part motet with a six-member ensemble. The program culminates with the rendition of this magnificent work.
