After Dark Festival

Elizabeth Alker presents live music highlights from Christian Löffler, Darkstar and Kinbrae recorded at Radio 3’s After Dark Festival in Newcastle.

Elizabeth Alker presents live music highlights from Radio 3’s After Dark Festival, a major new live music festival for 2022 in partnership with Sage Gateshead and TUSK Music, featuring some of the biggest names in contemporary, classical and experimental music.

Held over the weekend of the Spring Equinox the festival culminates in a ‘dusk till dawn’ all night event. It features the Scottish duo Kinbrae whose expansive soundscapes are created with a mixture of brass, synths, percussion and field recordings. Electronic duo Darkstar bring their melodic sensibilities and emotional punch to the concourse stage at Sage. And the German artist Christian Löffler revisits 100-year-old material from the archives of his record label Deutsche Grammophon. Performing music from his Parallels album, Löffler expands on the shellac recordings of Beethoven and Bach with electronics and string quartet, creating a unique spin on these classic works and continuing the lineage of German music.
