Night Owls, Curious Minds

Unclassified returns and a host of genre-exploding new music for curious and courageous ears, hearts and minds.

Unclassified returns in a new regular slot. Elizabeth Alker shares a host of genre-exploding new music for curious and courageous ears, hearts and minds.

Tonight's programme features an exclusive first play of music from the forthcoming album by Mercury Prize-nominated Portico Quartet called 'Memory Streams'; the first chance to hear an alternative version of the Shards track, Unrest, featuring Son Lux drummer, Ian Chang; plus, a new recording of music by Sufjan Stevens which he wrote for a recent ballet called The Decalogue by choreographer Justin Peck.

Unclassified is broadcast every Thursday at 11:30pm on 大象传媒 Radio 3.
