His Majesty's Men

Brought together in 2016 by countertenor Richard Childress, His Majesty's Men are ensemble-in-residence at St John Cantius Church in Chicago, USA. The Men come from Great Britain, Chicago and New York where they all have busy professional music careers.. They sing countertenor, tenor and bass, a voicing which enables them to come close to the original sound and performing pitch of much early vocal music. At the same time, they are strongly committed to the best modern music and commissions. They have received lavish praise from the Chicago Tribune (2017) and Classical Music Review (2019), and have commissioned new works from American composers Mark Nowakowski, Chad McCoy, Peter Kwasniewski and Nicholas Lemme.

Concerts by His Majesty's Men are sponsored by the Catholic Art Institute.
