The King’s Singers, masters of Britain’s venerable choral tradition, carry forward the distinguished legacy of “choral scholars” shaped for centuries at Cambridge’s famed King’s College. Having already delighted audiences in Saanen with musical souvenirs blending past and present, the six a cappella singers now embark on a fresh and intriguing journey atop the picturesque Eggli peak. This time, the King’s Singers cross the Atlantic aboard Spanish and Portuguese galleons to delve into the rich and mysterious traditions of the Maya and Aztec cultures of South America.
