BBC Radio 3 Open Ear / London Contemporary Orchestra

,LSO St Luke's
Open Ear

Featuring the London Contemporary Orchestra alongside peculiar insect techno duo Native Instrument and ingenious, avant-garde soprano Juliet Fraser.

The London Contemporary Orchestra returns to Open Ear following sell-out appearances at Tate Tanks last season. As the action rotates around separate stages in LSO St Luke’s Jerwood Hall, they’ll be joined by Berlin-based electronics duo Native Instrument who combine the sounds of nature with electronics and the human voice forming a peculiar and mellow insect-techno. The other human voice we’ll is hear is that of EXAUDI co-founder, Juliet Fraser, as she premieres a new piece for voice and electronics by Lisa Ilean.
