Unclassified Live: Curiouser and Curiouser

Elizabeth Alker presents Unclassified Live on London’s South Bank, where Cate Le Bon, Hinako Omori and Qasim Naqvi performed with the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra.

Elizabeth Alker presents Unclassified Live: Curiouser and Curiouser, a concert recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London’s South Bank and headlined by the Welsh art-pop singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon. Known for her genre-defying musical approach, Le Bon’s unique sound comprising intricate guitar work, off-kilter melodies and haunting vocals here takes flight alongside the rich presence of the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ Concert Orchestra in the world premiere of a new piece, Meet the Man.

Also taking to the stage with new music created for the night are London-based composer and sound artist Hinako Omori, with a blend of orchestral textures and ethereal electronic soundscapes; and Pakistani-American composer and drummer Qasim Naqvi, whose work combines complex polyrhythms and pulsating drones.
