We are delighted to announce that at the Grammy Awards last night, Light and Gold, won the Best Choral Performance Category. The album was released in October 2010 and became the number 1 Classical Album in the US and UK charts within a week, reaping unanimous 5 start reviews across the board. The Stolen Child amp;nbsp;was commissioned to celebrate our 40th anniversary, and we are thrilled to become a double Grammy award winning artist. In a 5 star review, BBC Music Magazine said of the work '"The Stolen Child", a joint commission for the King's Singers and the National Youth Chorus of Great Britain, is the most immediately impressive. Here Whitacre deftly weaves the entreating faerie voices of Yeat's poem with that of the "human child" in closely interlocking textures whose shifting strands are expertly rendered by the artists in this performance.'

The piece makes frequent appearances in our concert programmes around the world. and we are looking forward to performing it on our upcoming tour to the US in March.amp;nbsp; This is Eric Whitacre's debut album as a conductor on Decca/Universal, and we are delighted for him to receive his first Grammy Award for this disc. Congratulations also to the other performers: Christopher Glynn, Hila Plitmann, Laudibus, Pavao Quartet and the Eric Whitacre Singers.
