Didn't know if you were aware but Matthew Oltman (Music Director/singer of Chanticleer) is currently doing Doctoral work in Music at the University. He was at a house party of mine a couple of weeks ago. It was an interesting moment in my career as a musician. How did you get in touch with King's Singers?
I was a board member for the Marshall County Arts Cooperative for four years. We brought in m-pact, Turtle Island Quartet, Dallas Brass, (Canadian Brass this year, though I'm no longer on the board), and King's Singers.
Also had Matt Alber (who was in Chanticleer for a while, as well as m-pact), and Matt White (the dude who did the "Love" song on the McRib commercial a few years back) make visits to lead 5-7th grade choir clinics. I think they're looking to maybe bring in the Swingle Singers sometime soon, which would be pretty darn cool. Not sure if that will happen, though.
Swingle Singers? Sounds like a group that should serenade the Shim-Sham dancers. I'm sure the Shim-Shams would be happy to come and perform a routine while the Swingles sing.
