Curated Weeks

Each week, Kings Place is given over to one artist, group or organisation who are invited to present within the spaces, keeping our programme diverse and imaginative. Performers and curators appear by invitation of Kings Place and have carte blanche over the artistic content of their week.
See a list of some of our curators, past and present. .

Below is a list of all our upcoming Curated Weeks.

Kings Place Travel Festival ( Sat 22nd Jun - Sun 23rd Jun 2013)

Michael Palin kicks off our first travel writing festival, featuring Jay Griffiths, Sara Wheeler & Simon Garfield.

Get in the holiday mood with Kings Placeʼs first Travel Writing Festival.

Listen to talks, comedy and politics, taste wines from around the world in the Rotunda, taste Cocoa Hernado's chocolates to enjoy the flavours of India, Morocco, Himalaya or Mexico, book a Guardian mini travel writing masterclasses with writers Benji Lanyado and Kevin Rushby, get a free shot of World Bibliotherapy with Kris Naudts (theculturetrip.com), meet Colin Pyle
 who entered the Guiness Book of Records for his motorcycle trip around China, browse Stanfords, Istros Books and Pereine’s pop up bookshops or just enjoy a bit of farniente by the canal.

Wagner 200 ( Wed 26th Jun - Sun 30th Jun 2013)

Wagner 200 is a wide-ranging, London-based festival to celebrate the bicentenary of Richard Wagner’s birth. 
It opens on the composer's 200th birthday, 22 May 2013 with a Gala concert at the Royal Festival Hall and continues with further concerts, screenings of opera performances, public  masterclasses, symposia, a curated film season, an exhibition and much more, at leading venues across London and featuring major British orchestras and artists.

For its residency at Kings Place, Directors Barry Millington and Mark Eynon have programmed a series of concerts focusing on Wagner's chamber compositions, followed by a weekend Symposium Wagner in Performance and screenings of the two operas Wagner wrote during his break from The Ring, Tristan und Isolde & Die Meistersinger von Nurnberg.

 

London Lit Weekend ( Fri 4th Oct - Sun 6th Oct 2013)

Come and enjoy a small but perfectly formed boutique literary festival:  music, biography, poetry, fiction, history, memoir, debut writers, foreign literature, horticulture in sixteen hand-picked events of the best on the book scene.

Lucy Parham introduces the weekend with her wonderful mix of piano and spoken word. Allan Ahlberg delighted you, your children or grandchildren but his own childhood will now charm you. Wild Swans author Jung Chang tells us the story of the Concubine who launched Modern China while Jeremy Paxman looks at World War One from the points of view of ordinary people and Kate Adie shows how it revolutionised women’s lives. Alfred Brendel has left the piano for the pen but he reads his verses accompanied by his son on the cello.

Poets Timothy Ades, Martyn Crucifix and Elaine Feinstein share their passions for poets they translated into English.  Art historian TJ Clark explains Picasso and Jennifer Potter gives us a history of the world in seven flowers. We bring you Turkey’s internationally acclaimed novelist and essayist Elif Shafak, two of the most exciting new voices on the literary scene Sathnam Sanghera and Lotte Moggach.  You will be moved by Melvyn Bragg semi-autobiographical novel and Penelope Lively’s memories and thoughts on her life. Meike Ziervogel and Jane Thynne ponder on the enigmatic Magda Goebbels. And we will end with a smile with Jonathan Coe’s comic new novel Expo 58.

We hope you enjoy this feast of talent and intelligence, emotions and stories.

Chamber Classics Unwrapped ( Wed 15th Jan - Sat 13th Dec 2014)




'Having ‘unwrapped’ single composers through their chamber music, we thought we would celebrate five years of music-making by turning to the art form itself, and asking you, our audience, what you wanted to hear. Together with BBC Music Magazine, we launched an online vote to find the Top 50 most loved pieces of chamber music in the repertoire, and these will form the core of our new Chamber Classics Unwrapped series.'

'Another special feature of our offering at Kings Place has been to give musicians the freedom to curate their own concerts, and I'm delighted to say that those invited to take part in this series have come up with some wonderfully imaginative programmes.' Peter Millican, CEO Kings Place
