About the Event
Throughout 2026, Kings Place's Composer-In-Focus is Steve Martland, one of the most vibrant, unconventional and dynamic voices in British music, until his untimely death in 2013.
Martland was inspired by the energy and the vitality of the human voice throughout his career. The Carice Singers will perform his major works for choir, including the enchanting Street Songs and otherworldly Skywalk, which tells of an astronaut’s perspective of planet earth viewed from Space.
Works of driven directness from American minimalist composers Steve Reich and Julia Wolfe give context to Martland’s aesthetic, while a beautiful and rarely-heard piece by Martland’s teacher Louis Andriessen also introduces a European influence. The programme also includes the premiere of a new work by Luke Lewis
