Sarah Nicholl's upright grand piano

BBC Open Ear presents music from the leading-edge of the UK’s contemporary scene. Alternative, experimental and hosted by Sara Mohr-Pietsch.

Join us in the stunning surroundings of LSO St Luke’s to explore the violin and recorder music of Laura Cannell and the contemporary theatrical percussion of Abstruckt Ensemble. Then delve into the mixings of electronic/acoustic trio Alexander’s Annexe as they manipulate the sounds of Sarah Nicolls’ impressive vertical grand piano into entrancingly dense and emotive tracks.
