St Mary's Church Balcombe is very excited to be welcoming the world class ensemble The King's Men for a return visit after their spectacular concert here in 2022. They will be presenting a mixture of classical and traditional pieces, alongside their own folk, spiritual and pop vocal arrangements. The concert will also feature organ solos by King's College's organ scholars Benedict Turner-Berry and Henry Brearley.
The King’s Men is the close-harmony group of the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge. When they are not singing alongside the choristers for BBC broadcasts or daily services, the Choral Scholars work independently to produce their own season of concerts, performing works from Byrd to the Beatles. The King's Men give annual tours to the North and South of England, recently toured to Jersey, and have performed as far afield as North America, Australia, and China. Current members of The King's Men join a star-studded legacy, whose many former members have gone on to become members of ensembles such as The King's Singers, pursue successful solo careers, hold leading posts in church music, and beyond. More information on the current members of the group is available here: http://www.kingsmencambridge.co.uk/.
