As well as the BBC Concert Orchestra, the performance will also incorporate early electronic instruments, including theremins, Moogs and ondes martenots.

Greenwood will present his recent composition, 'smear,' while Gregory will ofer concert-goers a sneak-peak of his new opera.

The concert, presented by Jarvis Cocker, will be broadcast on BBC Radio 3’s Performance on 3 on November 19 at 7pm.
