The Queen’s Six was established in 2008, the 450th anniversary of the accession of Queen Elizabeth I, from whom they take their name. Members of the group are also Lay Clerks of St George's Chapel. The Chapel Choir, which consists of boy trebles and twelve professional adult singers, performs some eight services a week, as well as at private and state occasions, often before the Royal Family. This
rare privilege demands the highest musical standards. Most significantly however, it is the familiarity of living and singing together so frequently that lends this group its distinctive closeness and blend, as well as an irresistible informality and charm. Now Lissie, Tom, Nick, Dom, Andrew and Simon have come together to bring their unique style of entertainment to a much wider audience. Their repertoire extends far beyond the reach of the choir stalls: between austere early chant, florid Renaissance polyphony, lewd madrigals, haunting folk songs and upbeat Jazz and Pop arrangements, The Queen’s Six can provide anything from post-dinner or wedding reception entertainment to full concert programmes. Following in the steps of groups like The King’s Singers and Manhattan Transfer, these six talented young singers are sure to deliver an unforgettable musical treat.
