The inimitable harmonies of one of the world’s most celebrated vocal ensembles, The King’s Singers bring their Great American Songbook tour to Sydney for one night only.

With their trademark pinhead intonation, impeccable vocal blend, flawless diction and incisive timing, they pay tribute to the most enduring and influential American popular songs of the 20th century performing the best of Cole Porter, Richard Rogers and Lorenz Hart, Irving Berlin, Gershwin and more.

There are new arrangements of all time favourites like The Lady Is A Tramp, Cry Me A River and I’ve Got You Under My Skin, by jazz and choral composer Alexander L’Estrange. The King’s Singers bring their consummate vocal talents and trademark British wit to this golden era of songs from Broadway musicals, Hollywood films and the American music theatre.

Recipients of two Grammy Awards, the Midem International Classical Award and recent inductees into the Gramophone Hall of Fame, they have a discography of over 150 recordings and have popularised a capella singing and set the gold standard for its performance all around.

Tickets: from $85
