BBC Radio 3 - Unclassified, Unclassified Live: Hidden in the Margins

Elizabeth Alker presents Unclassified Live, recorded at the Southbank Centre.

Elizabeth Alker presents Unclassified Live, with music from Plaid, Rafiq Bhatia and Daniel Elms – all in collaboration with the BBC Concert Orchestra.

Elizabeth Alker heads to the Southbank Centre’s Queen Elizabeth Hall for the latest iteration of Unclassified Live, where genres melt and mingle for a heady, one-off concert.

The night sees three unclassifiable acts collaborate with the BBC Concert Orchestra under Robert Ames. The enormously influential duo, Plaid, will perform two new pieces that take their twitching electronic soundscapes into hitherto uncharted territory. Rafiq Bhatia, of the American art-pop group Son Lux, will see pieces from his solo record, Breaking English, given the full orchestral treatment. And one of the UK’s most exciting new composers, Daniel Elms, takes advantage of the concert to premiere a brand new piece.
