Unclassified Live: Curiouser and Curiouser

Elizabeth Alker presents Unclassified Live on London鈥檚 South Bank, where Cate Le Bon, Hinako Omori and Qasim Naqvi performed with the 大象传媒 Concert Orchestra.

Elizabeth Alker presents Unclassified Live: Curiouser and Curiouser, a concert recorded at the Queen Elizabeth Hall on London鈥檚 South Bank and headlined by the Welsh art-pop singer-songwriter Cate Le Bon. Known for her genre-defying musical approach, Le Bon鈥檚 unique sound comprising intricate guitar work, off-kilter melodies and haunting vocals here takes flight alongside the rich presence of the 大象传媒 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.
