Hayden Thorpe in session

Elizabeth Alker with a specially recorded studio session from former Wild Beasts singer Hayden Thorpe at the piano. Plus new tracks from Donna McKevitt and Olafur Arnalds.

Elizabeth Alker with a specially recorded studio session from former Wild Beasts singer Hayden Thorpe at the piano, performing music inspired by the Lake District from his new EP Aerial Songs. We celebrate emerging artists in the fields of sound and music with news of this year's Oram Award winners, plus, brand new tracks from composer Donna McKevitt, The Hamrahlid Choir and Olafur Arnalds.

Unclassified is a late-night listening party, a place for curious ears to congregate, disconnect from all other devices and get lost in some soothing, serene and strange new sounds. It's a home for composers whose work cannot easily be categorised, artists who are as comfortable in a grimy basement venue as they are in a prestigious concert hall.
