The Swingles sind eine der am meisten bewunderten und geliebten Gesangsgruppen der Welt. Mit ihrem natürlichen Gespür als Entertainer*innen bringen sie ihre stilvollen, eleganten Shows auf Bühnen in der ganzen Welt. Sie haben 5 Grammy® Awards gewonnen und wurden mit mehreren angesehenen internationalen Auszeichnungen ausgestattet. Generationen von Fans haben sie durch ihre Konzerte und Auftritte in Film- und TV-Soundtracks begeistert.
The Swingles sind durch ihre musikalische Entwicklung und ihren kreativen Elan heute so aktuell wie zu der Zeit, als Ward Swingle die Gruppe vor fast sechs Jahrzehnten gründete.
Sie interpretieren Jazz, Klassik, Folk und Pop aus ihrem ständig wachsenden Repertoire von neuen Arrangements und einer reichen Ader an neuem Originalmaterial. Das Geheimnis der Gruppe ist die Fähigkeit der sieben Sänger*innen, Solist*innen, Songschreiber*innen und Geschichtenerzähler*innen, sich zu einem nahtlos verschmolzenen und zeitlosen Sound zu vereinen.
The Swingles haben schon immer kreativen Gebrauch von Close-Mic-Verstärkung gemacht, und im letzten Jahrzehnt haben sie Live-Audio-Looping-Techniken zu ihren Bühnenauftritten hinzugefügt – eine immersive Überlagerung von Gesang, die das Publikum in ihren Bann zieht.
Außerdem warten einige Überraschungen auf Euch!

The Swingles Biography
For more than half a century, The Swingles have pushed the boundaries of vocal music. The seven young singers that make up today’s London-based group are driven by the same innovative spirit that has defined the five-time Grammy® winners since they first made waves in the 1960s. At a time when a cappella music is more popular than ever, The Swingles are recognised as masters of their craft.
In 1963, American-born Ward Swingle first assembled a group of Parisian session singers to sing Bach’s keyboard music. The resulting album, Jazz Sebastian Bach, launched the Swingle Singers to fame. Since then, they have won five Grammy® awards and made more than 50 recordings, with a repertoire that has grown to include a huge variety of music, including pop, jazz, folk, contemporary classical and new original songs. Recent releases include Folklore, inspired by traditional music from around the world; 50th anniversary album Deep End; and holiday collection Yule Songs vol. II.
The Swingles have appeared on numerous film and TV soundtracks, including Sex and the City, Wedding Crashers, Grey’s Anatomy and Glee. In 2017, they co-wrote and performed a song for the end credits of Alexander Payne’s film Downsizing. Their prolific output of music videos has also earned them millions of views online and new audiences around the world.
The group’s versatility has led to collaborations with artists as diverse as the Modern Jazz Quartet, Jamie Cullum and Labrinth. Luciano Berio was one of the first composers to explore the sound of the Swingles’ amplified voices in an orchestral setting with his groundbreaking Sinfonia, first performed in 1968. The group continue to perform the piece to great acclaim around the world, including recent performances at San Francisco’s Davies Symphony Hall with Michael Tilson Thomas, London’s Royal Festival Hall with Vladimir Jurowsky, and Milan’s La Scala with John Axelrod.
In addition to a busy touring schedule that regularly takes them to North and South America, Europe and Asia, The Swingles present their own London A Cappella Festival at Kings Place each January in partnership with Ikon Arts Management. The festival is the first of its kind in the capital, welcoming the finest vocal talent from around the world.
