The Choir of King's College, Cambridge are continuing their series at St John's Smith Square this season with three concerts conducted by Stephen Cleobury, presented by Intermusica.
In October, the Choir sing a selection of the most popular anthems from the English choral tradition written during the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Choir recently recorded the same in a candle-lit performance for DVD on Opus Arte, "sung sublimely and beautifully by the Choir" (Organ Magazine).
At Christmas they will sing the well-loved Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Vaughan Williams as well as Britten's A Boy was Born and some more traditional Christmas Carols.
In March the Choir present The Great Romantics, a wonderful programme featuring richly expressive choral music written by some of the great composers of the Romantic era, including Brahms, Mendelssohn and they crown the series with Dvorák's Mass in D.
