Launching Nico Muhly’s appointment as Kings Place Composer-in-Focus for 2027, this special concert reunites Muhly with friends and collaborators Fretwork and countertenor Iestyn Davies for a programme exploring the roots of his musical imagination.
Launching Nico Muhly’s appointment as Kings Place Composer-in-Focus for 2027, this special concert sees Muhly join acclaimed viol consort Fretwork and countertenor Iestyn Davies for a programme exploring the roots of his musical imagination.
Spanning five centuries, the programme places music by Byrd, Ferrabosco and Purcell alongside Muhly’s own compositions, drawing connections between Renaissance consort music, English song and contemporary composition. At its heart is the enduring In Nomine tradition, which inspired generations of composers and continues to resonate in Muhly’s work today.
Byrd’s moving Ye Sacred Muses, Purcell’s O Solitude and Fantasia Upon One Note sit alongside Muhly’s My Days, Slow (In Nomine in 5 parts), Four Traditional Songs and Old Bones, illuminating a continuing dialogue between past and present.
Performed by Fretwork and Iestyn Davies, with Muhly himself joining them, the concert opens his year as Composer-in-Focus by revealing some of the traditions, sounds and ideas that have shaped his music.
Price: £25-£40
