Choir of King's College, Cambridge One of the oldest and most famous university choirs in the world, the Choir of King's College Cambridge was founded in 1441 by order of King Henry VI. The choral ensemble of sixteen boys and fourteen adults performs in Cambridge University Chapel, where most recordings are made, under the direction of a resident choirmaster and organist. Since 1918, there has been an annual festival, the Nine Lessons and Carols, held over the Christmas period and broadcast by the BBC, on radio since 1928 and on television since 1954.
