One of the finest choral groups in the world is the famous Choir of King’s College in Cambridge, England.
Considered the most accomplished representation of the British choral tradition, the choir was established by King Henry VI, founder of King’s College, Cambridge in 1441.
The choir, composed of some of the most outstanding young scholars in England, sings daily in the college’s chapel and over the years has toured and established a wonderful repertoire and an extensive discography of recordings.
Each year, the choir’s “Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols” is broadcast around the globe on Christmas Eve.
Below is an audio excerpt of "The Lamb."
May you and yours enjoy a most beautiful and peaceful holiday.

This choir is one of my favorite things about Cambridge. There really is no other group like them in the world.
