==Music== King's College is home to the [[Choir of King's College, Cambridge]], which was founded in the 15th century and is now one of today's most well-renowned representatives of the English choral tradition. In 2013, the choir launched its own label, King's College Recordings, allowing it to gain more artistic freedom over its releases. Its releases and worldwide fame have led to global tours and performances.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.kings.cam.ac.uk/choir|title=The Choir of King's College, Cambridge {{!}} King's College Cambridge|website=www.kings.cam.ac.uk|access-date=14 October 2019}}</ref> The Choir of King's College sings evensong and Eucharist services on all days of the week apart from Mondays, with two services on a Sunday.
