Lieder\, chansons and part songs – imbued with musical richness – became vehicles for the deepest expressions of human feeling\, desire and fantasy. This programme pays deserved tribute to many of the greatest European composers of Romantic vocal music from that time: extraordinary storytellers that include Edward Elgar and Ralph Vaughan Williams in England\, and Hugo Alfvén in Sweden; Felix and Fanny Mendelssohn and Franz Schubert in Germany\, and Claude Debussy\, Maurice Ravel and Camille Saint-Saëns in France. Tonight\, we want to honour their collective imagination and brave emotional vulnerability by taking you on a magical journey that explores some of their most compelling thoughts on life\, love\, nature\, death\, and even the supernatural.  \n“We are such stuff as dreams are made on\, and our little life is rounded with a sleep.”  – William Shakespeare  \n  \nChefs-d’œuvre romantiques européens à travers une lentille magique L’impulsion romantique s’est répandue comme une traînée de poudre à travers l’Europe au cours du 19e et du début du 20e siècle. Lieder\, chansons et chants partiels – imprégnés de richesse musicale – sont devenus des véhicules pour les expressions les plus profondes des sentiments\, désirs et fantasmes humains. Ce programme rend un hommage bien mérité à beaucoup des plus grands compositeurs européens de musique vocale romantique de cette époque : des conteurs extraordinaires comme Edward Elgar et Ralph Vaughan Williams en Angleterre\, Hugo Alfvén en Suède ; Felix et Fanny Mendelssohn et Franz Schubert en Allemagne\, et Claude Debussy\, Maurice Ravel et Camille Saint-Saëns en France. Ce soir\, nous voulons honorer leur imagination collective et leur courageuse vulnérabilité émotionnelle en vous emmenant dans un voyage magique qui explore certaines de leurs pensées les plus captivantes sur la vie\, l’amour\, la nature\, la mort\, et même le surnaturel. \n« Nous sommes de la matière dont sont faits les rêves\, et notre petite vie est entourée d’un sommeil. » – William Shakespeare  \n  \nProgram | Programme  \n  \nRalph Vaughan Williams – Over hill\, over dale (from / de Three Shakespeare Songs)  \n  \nClaude Debussy – Trois Chansons\, L. 99  \nI.

They are renowned for their unrivalled technique\, musicianship and versatility\, which stem from the group’s rich heritage and its drive to bring an extraordinary range of new and unique works\, collaborations and recordings to life. The King’s Singers’ extensive discography has led to numerous awards\, including two Grammy Awards\, an Emmy Award\, and a place in Gramophone magazine’s inaugural Hall of Fame.  \n  \nInteresting Facts  \nSince March 2019\, The King’s Singers have successfully crafted bespoke masterclasses and workshops to continue to deliver their in-person teaching skills online\, opening up even more opportunities for ensembles around the world to work with six members of The King’s Singers.   \n  \nDuring its 50th anniversary year\, the group spent time thinking about how best to use the amazing legacy and profile of The King’s Singers in a way that gives some of that benefit back to the wider community. The result was The King’s Singers Global Foundation. Central to the essence of the Foundation is that the six members of The King’s Singers wish to give their platform\, their time\, and their expertise – unpaid – to widen the reach and impact of choral music. \n“For our third USA Summer School we are thrilled to be hosting it once again in the beautiful surroundings of Princeton University\, New Jersey. One of the finest academic institutions in the USA\, Princeton has a strong reputation for excellence in choral music.  \n  \n  \nMedia  \n  \nThe King’s Singers oozed class … the musical qualities they embody – pinpoint precision\, total rapport\, crisp diction\, faultless tuning and a seemingly effortless ability to switch between different stylistic requirements – are so evident. \nThe Times  \n  \nTheir vocal production was effortless\, stylistically varied and beautifully blended\, even in the most complex polyphony.   \nWashington Post  \n  \nA unified\, harmonious whole with flashes of pure individuality.  \nScotsman  \n  \nAstonishing\, exhilarating musicianship \nGramophone  \n\n  \nCarleton Dominion-Chalmers Centre \nAir conditioned! / Air climatisé! \nAccessible entrance! / Entrée accessible!
