The Virginia Arts Festival is bringing The King's Singers to three cities this week, including Richmond! They'll be performing at River Road Church, Baptist on Saturday evening (12/16) at 7:30pm. "When You Wish Upon A Star - A King’s Singers Christmas" will include festive music from their recent travels across the world and celebrate some of the most important musical anniversaries of the last year - including 400 years of the great English composer, William Byrd, and 100 years of Disney magic.
I recently sat down with bass Jonathan Howard to discuss the ensemble's storied history and the program they've put together for this tour, which includes stops in Williamsburg (Thursday 12/14) and Norfolk (Sunday 12/17). I hope you enjoy our lively discussion!
Yours in good music,
