Over the last few months Newcastle University’s International Centre for Music Studies (ICMuS) has been hosting an exciting choral excellence project, during which a range of singers and choral groups have had the opportunity to be rehearsed and coached the first baritone of the world-renowned vocal ensemble The King’s Singers. 

During the choral excellence project, Chris has been working with the ICMuS Chamber Choir New Vocal Ensemble, the Alumni Chamber Choir Vox Populi, the Newcastle Youth Choir Project and the Newcastle University A Capella Society’s Tune Army. 

Each ensemble has worked on its own chosen repertoire but has also stepped outside that usual repertoire to embrace different genres and styles of singing. In addition to singing as individual choral groups, performing pieces by composers such as Byrd, Tallis and Parry, the choirs have come together to perform Roderick William’s Everyone Sang, and Billy Joel’s Lullabye. 

The concert will last around an hour and is free of charge to attend.
