The King’s Singers: 'The Library' Live

About this event

The King’s Singers' 'The Library' Live concert coincided with the release of their EP, The Library, Vol. 2. This is the second instalment in a series of recordings that celebrate the richness of their ever-growing library of close-harmony arrangements, from 1968 right through to the present day. This concert features many of their favourite songs from their library, as well as looking to the future with some of their most recent arrangements of pop songs. This is a feel-good concert that's not to be missed.
