this is of germany talent show a recent immigrant from indonesia. and the brand new documentary about the handmaid's tale all thought margaret atwood. never. the king singing as a vocal ensemble with a history going back over half a century the original members were choral scholars at king's college cambridge university back in the $960.00 s. now the group in their latest incarnation are launching a new project trying to heal divisions in society through the power of music it's called finding harmony let's have a listen. yeah. yeah. there are.

oh yeah. and jonathan how is the current senior member you know let's your also young joins me now there's been lots of changes in the membership of the group over the years now what hasn't changed in 50 years though is the line up to. attend to parents' hands on a base why has that remained the ideal mix for you i know it's pretty unusual but i think that's because that's what the originals were to altos they tended to bartend in a base and it was so much music that was written for them in precise. that

configuration that if we want to keep singing it we need to preserve that configuration oh you still sing you some of the original we of course we i think that's important to have stuff which is really more than stuff which goes right that. now tell us about finding harmony which will be your new cd in the new year but it's actually much more than that is quite a project is not yet sort of a mission for us we see the incredible power of music to bring people together all over the world today we see it in paris after the burning of not should we see it in hong kong during the process we see and she recently we see it in moments like the me too movement in the times of movement in the us it happens all the time that music gives people a voice where they haven't had one or they feel they need one and we want to show that this is been happening for decades all over the world and that we need to encourage people to find their voices together because singing together not only binds us together but also gives us a chance to be and how are you going to do this i mean obviously in your concerts are you going to be saying things they're all so the programs that will be performing are all based on this album which is

a collection of music from the last 1000 years from very very different countries from georgia from a stone you're from the u.s. from south africa from germany to show that this has been happening globally but it's also going out to doing a lot of pro bono work advocacy education to make sure that people know that we really are committed to bringing people together through saying it's against let's hear you sing more of that song same song actually you also know in the song promotes finding homey.

jonathan with me the singer now i have to ask you a saxophone doesn't get a cul de sac so from this does a violinist doesn't get a cold i mean the violin doesn't i have to ask you about sing as 6 guys all know road with voices what happens when one of you gets a cold i mean it's very precarious you're right we do lots of plane travel i think we try to be as healthy as possible which doesn't sound very rock'n'roll but it means lots of lots of early night sweats possible lots of water not very much not very much alcohol when we touring but also it's it's about working out a way where you can actually look off to members of the group if someone is feeling under the weather we do about $150.00 concerts a year and it is the case that people are always doing very well and we i hope are found a way of blending. that means that if someone is not 100 percent we are able to

kind of camouflage that within the group sound just here on this mission. just briefly with finding what's happening in the day where you will come from is that part of the reason why your mission because you're a bit sort of disillusioned well yeah because i think we see what breaks it and we've had pieces written about this that is dividing families dividing communities and actually we should be able to have different opinions and yet still tolerate each other and be unable to enjoy the. company and we see as we go toward whatever the world you know be it in china where we've got people with vastly different beliefs or and career and soul for instance where we had entered ambassadors and diplomats from both sides of the political divisions coming to our concerts we see the music with your enjoying your singing it has it has a power to unite people and so we want to try and harness it yeah i completely agree with you i think it's a wonderful thing you're doing jonathan hound from the king's things thank you touring all over europe from now until christmas and then america in the new year or more europe all over the world so people watching this can just google for king
