The King’s Singers | Angels and Demons

Step into the timeless world of Christian symbolism with Angels and Demons, a powerful musical journey through five centuries of choral masterpieces. Inspired by Geoffrey Poole’s evocative Wymondham Chants (1970), this immersive performance delves into the sacred and the profane—angels as divine messengers and protectors, demons as shadows of temptation and chaos, the Virgin Mary as the embodiment of grace, and Christ at the heart of it all. Through soaring harmonies and haunting melodies, Angels and Demons offers a moving exploration of faith, humanity, and the eternal dance between light and darkness
