One of the most celebrated choir groups in the world is making a rare U.S. visit, and Washington National Cathedral is host to one of only three stops on the tour.
The Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, can trace its history back to the 15th century, when the College was founded at the University of Cambridge. And on Saturday, March 30, the renowned boys choir will sing the British choral music it has mastered over several centuries.
The boys will perform 14 songs, highlighted by two organ solos belted out on the 10,647 pipes of the Cathedral’s Great Organ. The compositions include works by Monteverdi, Palestrina, Purcell, Britten and Vaughn Williams. This is the last chance for local audiences to experience the choir under the direction of Stephen Cleobury, who is retiring.
Admission ranges from $25 to $95; students will be admitted for $15. More information and information on purchasing tickets is available here: https://tix.cathedral.org/TheatreManager/1/online?performance=18191
