Overview of the Nonclassical night / label

A new generation of performers, composers and promoters are starting to emerge from the world of contemporary classical music who are keen to redefine the rules of classical music and are determined that classical music is no longer solely aired within the constraints of the concert hall. Classical music can be part of everyone's lives and this night is part of rediscovering of its relevance.

Also, Nonclassical is a unique, innovative record label, releasing classical music in an unexpected and very refreshing way, including genre-busting Remixes along-side original contemporary classical works.

Available at all good record stores, for download, and on the night:

The Elysian Quartet/ Gabriel Prokofiev String Quartet No.1
The Elysian Quartet/ Gabriel Prokofiev String Quartet No.2
GeNIA/John Richards Suite for Piano and Electronics.

Next Release: (April 2008) John Mathias & Nick Ryans 'Cortical Songs'
Featuring remixes by Tom Yorke & Jonny Greenwood (Radiohead), Simon Tong (TGTBATQ, Gorillaz) John Maclean (The Beta Band, The Aliens) Simon Jones and Nick MacCabe (The Verve), Gabriel Prokofiev.
