At the centre of every noisenight is a 60-80 minute classical set. We platform international soloists and ensembles while also giving opportunities to outstanding new artists. All noisenights take place in gig venues where you get to experience classical music up close.
Live music needs your backing more than ever. Backing a noisenight means getting tickets to hear the world's best performers in grassroots venues and being part of a community working for a positive future for live music. To put it simply, you giving your backing will make this gig happen and secure you a ticket.
After a noisenight reaches its funding target, we e-mail all backers to confirm that it’s going ahead and a small amount of extra tickets will be made available. Tickets are released in four stages, which increase in price the closer to the event they're purchased. Book early to get the best price.
Please note that all tickets to this noisenight are standing by default. If you have specific access requirements please get in touch prior to purchasing your ticket here. Due to the venue's license, this event is strictly 14+.
abel selaocoe
South African cellist Abel Selaocoe is redefining the parameters of the cello. He moves seamlessly across genres and styles and combines virtuosic performance with improvisation, singing, and body percussion.
Abel is devoted to composing works and curating programmes that highlight the links between Western and non-Western musical traditions, broadening the horizons of classical music to reach a more diverse audience.
Celebrating five years on since Abel’s breakthrough debut at the BBC Proms, this performance will be full of improvisations influenced by African, jazz and classical music, accompanied by the languages of Bambara, Zulu, Sotho, and Tswana.
Outernet Live
Formerly named HERE at Outernet, Outernet Live is one of London's latest purpose-built live music spaces, located at the back of Denmark Street - known as the British Tin Pan Alley for housing artists, studios, publishers, and guitar shops alike.
Dug four storeys under the heart of central London and underneath Tottenham Court Road tube station, Outernet Live boasts the highest spec sound and lighting system for a venue of its size anywhere in the UK.
