Info for The Last Rose of Summer: Folk Songs of the British Isles
Based at Windsor Castle, the members of The Queen’s Six make up half of the Lay Clerks of St George’s Chapel, whose homes lie within the Castle walls. This rare privilege demands the highest musical standards, as they sing regularly for the Royal family at both private and state occasions. In 2018 this included the weddings of Princess Eugenie and Mr Jack Brooksbank, and Prince Harry and Ms Meghan Markle, both held in St George’s Chapel. Most significantly however, it is the familiarity of living and singing together in Chapel every day that lends this group its distinctive closeness and blend, as well as an irresistible informality and charm.
Individually, members of The Queen’s Six have appeared in many of the most prestigious vocal ensembles on the circuit, including The Tallis Scholars, Tenebrae, and The Sixteen. Their repertoire extends far beyond the reach of the choir stalls: from austere early chant, florid Renaissance polyphony, lewd madrigalsand haunting folk songs to upbeat Jazz and Pop arrangements.
The Queen's Six:
Daniel Brittain, countertenor
Tim Carleston, countertenor
Nicholas Madden, tenor
Dominic Bland, tenor
Andrew Thompson, baritone
Simon Whiteley, bass
The Queen’s Six
„The Queen’s Six“ zählt mit zu den weltweit renommiertesten, klassischen A-Cappella-Ensembles und werden international mit frenetischem Applaus gefeiert. Die sechs Profi-Sänger leben als „Lay Clerks“ innerhalb der Mauern von Windsor Castle, dem Wochenendsitz der Queen Elizabeth II., wo sie in der St George’s Chapel des königlichen Anwesens die nahezu täglichen Evensongs (Abendmusiken) und Services (Gottesdienste) besingen. Sie musizieren regelmäßig für die Royal Family – sowohl bei privaten Anlässen als auch bei staatlichen Empfängen. Erst kürzlich konnte man die Herren vor etwa 2 Milliarden Menschen zur royal wedding von Meghan und Harry live in der BBC erleben. Ein außergewöhnliches Privileg, das höchste musikalische Qualitätsstandards voraussetzt.
Gegründet wurde das Ensemble 2008 aus Anlass des 450. Krönungs- jubiläums von Queen Elizabeth I. „The Queen ́s Six“ performen im Rahmen der profiliertesten nationalen und internationalen Vokalensembles (Tenebrae, Polyphony, the BBC Singers, the Cardinall ́s Musick, Collegium Vocale Gent, the Gabrieli Consort, EXAUDI, the King’s Consort, the Tallis Scholars und the Sixteen). Ihr Debut-Album „Music of the Realm“ wurde vom renommierten Guardian mit 4 von 5 Sternen gekürt. Mit ihren faszinierenden Darbietungen und Programmideen von Werken der Renaissance bis hin zum modernen Pop-Arrangement wissen die royalen Sänger ihr Publikum zu begeistern!
