Tom Service with cutting-edge and experimental new music

On tonight's show, the world premiere of Jamaican composer Mikhail Johnson's Tell! Jonkonnu, Tell! In it he weaves a tale of the Jamaican folk festival Jonkonnu using a cast of characters, there's intrigue, empathy, hope, and social commentary all packaged in a hugely exciting and ever-changing sound world. The vocal soloist Elaine Mitchener talks to us about bringing the various characters to life in this first performance with Ensemble Klang from London's Wigmore Hall. Tom also introduces a new piece by Hannah Kendall from the same concert.

Plus howling and gurgling from the Noise Intoners, early 20th-century noise synthesisers, remade for our time and played and recorded at the London Contemporary Music Festival. We鈥檒l take a tour of the machines with the man who has rebuilt the orchestra and hear new pieces composed especially for them.

And there's music by Tom Coult, ilinx, Ed Bennett, Passepartout Duo, Jesper Nordin and more!
