Memory Unwrapped: Carice Singers - perform Martland

An exciting survey of Steve Martland’s choral works within a programme of energy and discovery.

Steve Martland was interested in 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.

This event will last for approximately 95 minutes, including an interval.
