Tansy Davies, Nick Drake, Lucy Bailey, Mark Padmore and Elaine Mitchener are among the musicians and artists featured in the online launch of London Sinfonietta’s New Music Channel on 12 January. They'll all be participating in a discussion about composer Davies’s and librettist Drake's chamber opera Cave, which will accompany a short live performance. Plus, an exclusive streaming of Cave will be available online throughout 2020.

New Music Channel will regularly present audio and video content, alongside a series of written articles and commissioned new digital works. The channel’s second online event on 17 February will feature Matthew Herbert and Anna Meredith in conversation with cellist Zoe Martlew, which will be recorded live for The Music That Made Me podcast series.

The 12 January event will take place at London Southbank Centre’s Spiritland Royal Festival Hall.
