The choir was founded in the late 15th century by King Henry VI, who established King’s College as a center of learning and worship; respected for its high standards of performance and its repertoire of traditional choral music.
The choir is composed of 16 choristers, who are boys between the ages of 7 and 13, and 14 choral scholars, who are undergraduate students at the university. The choristers receive a full scholarship to attend King’s College School and to sing in the choir, and many of them go on to pursue successful careers in music.
