Afternoon Frequencies is a live electronic music series at the Queen’s House, with performances taking place in the Great Hall on selected Fridays.
We’re delighted to welcome Gabriel Prokofiev for the next Afternoon Frequencies session on 27 November, where he will perform a selection of recent electronic compositions.
Gabriel will perform his electroacoustic composition Strange Blooms, created from the musical seeds of a Baroque Chaconne by Louis Couperin, from the same era in which the Queen's House was built (1616-1635). For the piece, Gabriel recorded harpsichordist Jane Chapman playing an early keyboard instrument.
Argentinian violinist Herman Ringer and Gabriel will perform HOWL!, a reflection on protest in the digital age. The programme also features a special version of Messiaen's Oraison, arranged for ROLI Seaboard and violin, alongside works from Gabriel's recent album Breaking Screens.
Gabriel Prokofiev is an acclaimed composer of classical and electronic music, and the founder and artistic director of Nonclassical, a record label and events organisation established in 2004.
