The University of Wyoming fall Cultural Programs' concert series continues with The
King's Singers, an a cappella ensemble, Friday, Oct. 23, at 7:30 p.m. This concert
is being cosponsored by Laramie's Hilton Garden Inn.
Tickets for the performance, in the Fine Arts Center concert hall, cost $28 for the
public and $24 for students and senior citizens. Tickets are available by calling
the Fine Arts Center box office at (307) 766-6666 or at the Web site www.uwyo.edu/finearts.
"The King's Singers have an incredible, rich, ringing sound, achieved, in part, because
of the configuration," says UW Cultural Programs Director Cedric Reverand. "Not bass,
baritone and two tenors, but bass, baritones, tenor and countertenors."
Founded in King's College, Cambridge, in 1968, The King's Singers have released more
than 80 CDs, 200 commissioned works and perform more than 120 international performances
each year.
"Even though they've gone through several generations, they still sound like the
King's Singers," says Reverand. "And they have an elegance and charm that seems to
go along with that British accent."

The fall concert series continues with Rebel (Nov. 13), a baroque ensemble, and concludes
with Lisa De La Salle (Nov. 20), a pianist who will perform with the Boston Symphony
before coming to Laramie.
