REVIEW
The King’s Singers rule supreme
VOICES NZ & The King's Singers in concert
Tuesday 13 March 2018
“The King’s Singers sextet were good-humoured, supremely talented, effortlessly accomplished, confident and gracious. Voices New Zealand was impeccably supportive, balancing the sextet and reinforcing the climax of the chosen works. The two groups were complementary, symphonious – superb.
It was a refined, inspiring, entertaining evening – a precise, crystalline, perfect concert.”- Stephen Gibbs
VOICES NZ joined The King’s Singers for concerts in Wellington and Auckland as part of the NZ Festival and Auckland Arts Festival on 9 and 10 March 2018. Both concerts were very well received – check out the reviews below:
“It was a double a cappella birthday celebration: The King’s Singers were celebrating their 50th ‘Gold’ Anniversary and the Voices New Zealand Chamber Choir their 20th Birthday this year.” Stephen Gibbs – SOUNZ
“It was an unmitigated pleasure to experience the vocal sheen and expertise when the two groups joined forces for the rich canvases of Eric Whitacre’s The Stolen Child and Bob Chilcott’s High Flight, conducted by Karen Grylls.” William Dart – NZ Herald
“The balance of the programme was a carefully constructed mix of the contemplative and the exuberant, ending with a medley of close harmony songs that was greeted with the sort of enthusiasm that suggested the concert could have gone on a great deal longer; advertised as lasting 90 minutes, it ran for nearly two hours, but the audience was still ready for more.” John Button – Dominion Post
