The ‘Rest is Noise’ festival is an exciting and ambitious year-long exploration of twentieth century classical music. Taking its lead from the Alex Ross book of the same name, the festival will include over 100 events at London’s South Bank Centre, including concerts by the London Philharmonic Orchestra, the Philharmonia Orchestra and the London Sinfonietta. There will also be explorations of the history, politics, art and literature of the period.

Alex Ross’s book ‘The Rest is Noise’ is an incredibly informative and entertaining read and is highly recommended.
