Meanwhile, the view out of the window will be changing. Nonclassical released Tansy Davies' debut album, Troubairitz, in 2011. Programme: Troubairitz for voice, percussion and fluteGreenhouses for voice, Indian harmonium and fluteThis Love/Destroying Beauty/Static for voice and pianoSong of Pure Nothingness for Indian harmonium and voice Plus DJ sets by BBC Radio 3 Late Junction presenter Nick Luscombe.
