Enjoyed a wonderul concert tonight

A friend took me to hear The King's Singers this evening. In the program it says The King's Singers "are consummate entertainers" and "remain one of the world's finest vocal ensembles." I believe it. The event took place in Trinity English Lutheran Church, a beautiful, large, old (1920's?) Gothic style downtown church here in Fort Wayne.  This church has amazing acoustics and that was demonstrated stunningly by the six singers who comprise The King's Singers.  When they first processed in, singing variations on the Lord's Prayer and sounding like a monks' choir, I found myself wondering where the other singers were. Somehow they made their six amazing voices sound like a choir of 30. It was really an excellent evening of worshipful and fun music. It was also, by the way, the final evening of the ALCM (American Lutheran Coral Musicians) conference and the church was packed. Kudos to Trinity English and The King's Singers.
