Steve Boyland is an improvising vocalist, performance artist and voice teacher of international stature. His reputation is founded on the eclecticism and intensity of his solo work, as well as a portfolio of acclaimed collaborations with international practitioners in the fields of music, visual art and dance. However, despite the range and quality of these collaborations, it is perhaps in his solo improvisations – often performed in the rarified aesthetic and acoustical environments of galleries and churches – that we most closely encounter the artistic and philosophical essence of his work

The Gathering is a space for improvisation, where musicians can be together and play what they see fit in the moment.
The Gathering is not a workshop, and no external structures will be imposed.
The Gathering is not a concert:
everyone in the room is a participant, including those who may be listening.
The Gathering is not a rehearsal or recording session:
it is the actual thing itself.
