After-hours Concert: Wooden Elephant – Björk's Homogenic - Extra concert
Wooden Elephant takes us back to 1997 with Björk's iconic album rethought for five strings.
Programme
Björk: Homogenic (1997)
for extended string quintet, rethought by Ian Anderson
The last After-hours Concert of the season offers a very special musical experience, where electronic and classical music are united. The string quintet Wooden Elephant specialises in transforming iconic albums from popular music into live concerts for strings, and has, among other things, had Radiohead's ground-breaking album Kid A and Beyonce's Lemonade under loving care. This afternoon you can experience the Icelandic artist Björk's third album Homogenic from 1997 in a completely new way - live and rethought for five strings in The Black Diamond's beautiful Queen's Hall.
