Friday Lates: St Martin's Voices

Our friends and neighbours from St Martin-in-the-Fields perform short repertoires of songs celebrating nature and the environment, alongside the paintings that inspired them - by Titian, Turner, Seurat, and our new contemporary commission by Richard Long.

Accompanied by Gallery Educator Tilly Scantlebury, discover how both artists and composers have responded to the world around us.

They can be found in Room 19 at 6.15 pm, Room 44 at 6.45 pm, Room 8 at 7.15 pm and at the top of the Sainsbury Wing staircase at 7.45 pm.

This event is part of Art History Festival 2025 organised by the Association for Art History.

They have toured the USA and South Africa as well as undertaking extensive tours across the UK. The choir regularly features in broadcasts including BBC Radio 3, BBC Radio 4 and Classic FM, and have recently performed at Lambeth Palace and the Houses of Parliament.
