Kings Place 2026 Artists-in-Residence GBSR Duo (George Barton – percussion & Siwan Rhys – piano) give the World Premiere of Turn Portrait, a newly commissioned work by acclaimed Canadian composer Sarah Davachi, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary music today.
Known internationally for her immersive and contemplative sound worlds, Sarah Davachi’s work explores the subtle intricacies of timbre and the perception of time, drawing listeners into states of heightened attention and deep listening.
The new work is presented in partnership with d&b audiotechnik’s en-space technology, the pioneering system which allows acoustic environments to be shaped and transformed in real time, opening up a completely new dimension of listening.
