Warp vs The London Sinfonietta Orchestra - album release & shows
August 22, 2006
In September 2006 the Warp Works and 20th Century Masters concert (featuring Mira Calix) visited Paris, for its first French performance in the stunning Cit de la musique concert hall. Now with the special double cd of live recordings released on Warp we're happy to see the show make its Russian debut in Moscow on April 5th.

Born at the Royal Festival Hall on 10 March 2003, the London Sinfonietta / Warp concerts grew out of a shared desire to explore the connection between the electronic experimenters on the Warp label and the avant-garde 20th Century pioneers.
The resulting collaboration will now visit Moscow on April 5th 07 for an evening of boundary-blurring musical juxtapositions. A live electronic performance by Mira Calix and tracks by Aphex Twin, Squarepusher and Boards of Canada arranged for the ensemble share the bill with classics by Ligeti, Nancarrow and Reich, conducted by Martyn Brabbins.
Live recordings of earlier performances at the London's Royal Festival Hall, Brighton Dome and the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall was released as a 19 track double CD collection, Warp Works and 20th Century Masters, on Warp on September 18th.
