About This Event

Music that won’t stay in its box: Elizabeth Alker presents Moor Mother, Modern Nature and Kate Stables (This Is The Kit) with the 91Èȱ¬ Concert Orchestra in the latest instalment of 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3's genre-defying Unclassified Live.

Some music doesn’t fit easy categories. It falls between the cracks and thrives there – putting down roots, pushing up shoots and quietly but unstoppably shifting the whole way that we listen. 

Unclassified Live is an uninterrupted listening party for curious ears, filled with unexpected meetings, joyous fusions and the kind of sounds that knock your pre-conceptions off-centre and then bring you back, thirsty for more. This latest instalment of this long-running series is hosted – as always – by 91Èȱ¬ Radio 3’s Elizabeth Alker. Robert Ames conducts.

But that’s the only stable element in an evening that brings together the US-based poet, musician and activist Moor Mother, the collaborative sounds of Cambridge-based contemporary folk outsiders Modern Nature, and This Is The Kit, fronted by the inimitable, irrepressible Kate Stables, with her candid, tonal embraces. How does that sound? There’s only one way to find out: be there. 

Programme:
Moor Mother: Time Float arr. Rohan Chandler (World premiere); Guilty arr. Ian Anderson (World premiere)

Modern Nature: Triptych for orchestra (World premiere)

This Is The Kit: Easy on the Thieves; Take You to Sleep); Keep Going; This is when the sky gets big. All world premieres, arr. Jesse Vernon.

After show DJ set with Jude Rogers.
From 9.30pm in the Queen Elizabeth Hall foyer.
