*Gabriel Prokofiev* is a London-based composer, producer, DJ and founder
of the Nonclassical <https://www.nonclassical.co.uk/> record label &
club night.
Composing music that both embraces and challenges western classical
traditions, Gabriel Prokofiev has emerged at the forefront of a new
approach to classical music in the UK at the beginning of the 21st
century. His Concerto for Turntables was performed at the BBC Proms in
August 2011 to critical acclaim, conducted by Vladimir Jurowski with
world champion DJ Switch as soloist, and broadcast on BBC2 television.
Other recent works include a poly-stylistic ‘orchestral remix’ of
Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony (2011) commissioned by John Axelrod and the
Orchestre National des Pays de la Loire, France; a 3rd String Quartet
premiered by the Ruysdael Kwartet at the Wigmore Hall in 2010;
import/export, a percussion suite for global junk, toured in UK & USA by
Joby Burgess’s Powerplant; a full-length ballet - Ein Winternachtstraum
- for Cathy Marston and Bern Ballett, a Cello Concerto written for and
premiered by Alexander Ivashkin, and a Concerto for Bass Drum &
Orchestra (2012) premiered by Princeton Symphony and the London
Contemporary Orchestra. His Violin Concerto No 1 will be launched by
Daniel Hope and the Borusan Istanbul Philharmonic Orchestra at the 2014
BBC Proms.
