The Cultural Pulse of King’s Cross
Platoon Presents: Caroline Shaw & Andrew Yee
Platoon Presents at Kings Place is a creative partnership forged by two pioneering organisations – the Platoon label, and Kings Place. Together they will present a series of imaginative live performances, showcasing the Platoon roster through contemporary, classical and spoken word genres, from both internationally-celebrated artists and emerging new voices.
One of our major focuses this year is on the British composer Steve Martland, one of the most vibrant, unconventional and dynamic voices in British music, until his untimely death in 2013.
Throughout this series of five performances, we invite the The Colin Currie Group – Carice Singers – Hebrides Ensemble – Riot Ensemble and Artists in Residence, GBSR Duo to tell his story through sound.
This series is generously supported by the Vaughan Williams Foundation.
