Beibei's Listening Chair

Elizabeth Alker invites virtuoso percussionist Beibei Wang to the Unclassified Listening Chair to share a track that transports her elsewhere. Beibei’s mastery of classical and traditional Chinese techniques has seen her perform as a soloist with many of the world’s most prestigious orchestras. Forever curious, she has also explored more experimental and contemporary forms, and her long-standing creative collaboration with composer Hannah Peel has resulted in the acclaimed new album ‘The Endless Dance’.

Elsewhere in the programme, we'll hear from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
