Kevin Malone

Described by The Independent as "witty, with a rare ability to communicate quite complicated processes with clarity”, the work of Anglo-American composer Kevin Malone spans genres and media beyond conventional labeling. His music has a clear attractive surface brimming with sophisticated character, expressivity and design. Equally at home with electronics, multimedia and installations to harpsichords, choirs and orchestras, he embraces postmodernist and hybrid approaches, often exploring social concerns and global events. Malone's concert music – e.g. Opus opera, Count Me In, The Radio Song, Three Ancient Nightclubs – often embraces theatricality. A Clockwork Operetta, a cabaret commissioned by the International Anthony Burgess Foundation, sets the discarded pop lyrics from Burgess’ unused film script of A Clockwork Orange. Unsung Herstories attacks women’s social and political inequalities by having the solo pianist restrained as she attempts to play outspoken passages.
