British A Cappella Ensemble the King's Singers Come to the CCA 11/4

British a cappella ensemble The King's Singers are coming to the Capitol Center on Saturday, November 4 as part of their North American tour.

The King's Singers were officially born in 1968 by six recently-graduated choral scholars from King's College, Cambridge, England. The group quickly distinguished itself via its musical diversity. They appeared regularly on prime-time TV, celebrating popular music never usually touched by choral ensembles.

The group has always consisted of six singers in total, with their membership changing over the years. Early on, they took hold of the idea that concerts need not contain merely one form of music. For those who expected pop music, there would be classical music (and vice-versa). Today, their library includes some 2,000 works of all styles.

The King's Singers have consistently been welcomed on the world's great stages, including London's Royal Albert Hall to the Opera House in Sydney and New York's Carnegie Hall. Two Grammy Awards, an Emmy Award, and a place in Gramophone magazine's inaugural Hall of Fame sit among the numerous accolades bestowed upon the group.

Tickets for the November 4 performance are $34.50 - $59.50, plus any applicable fees for phone/Internet sales. They may be ordered by calling the Capitol Center for the Arts at (603) 225-1111 or online at ccanh.com. Tickets may also obtained at the Center's box office at 44 South Main St., Concord, NH, which is open Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday from 11AM to 6PM and Saturdays from 11AM-2PM.

The award-winning Capitol Center for the Arts (www.ccanh.com) inspires, educates, and entertains audiences by providing a quality venue for the performing arts as well as a wide range of professional-level, artistically-significant presentations. The Center is conveniently located off Rt. 93 in downtown Concord, New Hampshire and is close to several quality restaurants, shopping boutiques, and other area attractions. The facility first opened in 1927 as the Capitol Theatre, a prime stop on the Vaudeville circuit; it later became Concord's premier movie house and concert hall. After closing in 1989, it underwent a multi-million dollar renovation / modernization and reopened in 1995 as the Capitol Center for the Arts. Today, the Capitol Center is home to the 1304-seat Chubb Theatre, the Spotlight Café, The Governor's Hall ballroom, and the Kimball House, a Victorian mansion.
