About this Event
Our 20th anniversary celebrations have got bigger! EDM, footwork, drums, piano, and electronics collide in our celebration of beat-driven music for percussion and piano.
Nonclassical artist Klavikon (aka Leon Michener) kicks off the night with his innovative brand of electronic music: think EDM without the use of conventional processes - no loops, no laptops, no sequencers. Instead, Klavikon employs a unique system of amplified prepared piano, augmenting the 88 keys with his own inventions and found objects - a custom made pick up, a robot dog- he delivers cascading batteries of percussion, sub-basses and abstract soundscapes.
Abstruckt percussion quartet make their triumphant return to Nonclassical following their sell-out Barbican Conservatory events with two brand new works. A new commission, Baby Lexicon, by award-winning, 'sonically dazzling’ (RPS Awards) composer Ben Nobuto is paired with Jlin's Pulitzer-Prize nominated percussion suite Perspective, initially commissioned and premiered by Third Coast Percussion.
Tickets £10; £15; £20 – limited numbers available.
