Kerst met The King’s Singers

The King’s Singers join the Rotterdam Philharmonic Orchestra for a festive Christmas programme in the Grote Zaal at de Doelen. The British close-harmony group, known for its precise blend and understated stage presence, moves between traditional carols and more contemporary seasonal songs, accompanied by the orchestra. Their arrangements focus on clarity, text and balance, with six voices covering a wide stylistic range while keeping the sound intimate enough for the concert hall. 

The Guardian once described their Christmas concerts as light, well-crafted evenings where choral standards sit next to popular tunes without becoming sentimental, thanks to careful arranging and disciplined singing. In Rotterdam, the group appears under the baton of conductor Eduardo Strausser, with the orchestra providing a warm, orchestral backdrop to the vocal textures. The result is a Christmas concert that sits comfortably between classical tradition and lighter seasonal repertoire on Schouwburgplein.
