through the noise, the innovative classical music promoter known for bringing classical performances to unconventional venues, has announced its most ambitious season yet as it celebrates its 200th performance. The company’s January-June 2025 lineup includes 32 new “noisenights” across 17 towns and cities, featuring its largest event to date at London’s historic Troxy venue.
The season’s highlight will be South African cellist Abel Selaocoe’s performance at the 3,000-capacity Troxy in London’s East End, where he’ll launch his second album “Hymns of Bantu.” Other notable performers include GRAMMY winner Nicola Benedetti, making her noisenight debut, and chart-topping pianist Tiffany Poon presenting an exclusive pre-album concert.
Founded just over three years ago by Jack Bazalgette and Jack Crozier, through the noise has quickly established itself as a transformative force in classical music presentation. The company specializes in crowdfunded classical concerts in non-traditional venues, aiming to make classical music more accessible to local communities.
“After an unforgettable season that saw us reach over 30,000 people, reaching 200 noisenights is a monumental milestone,” says Artistic Director Jack Bazalgette. “Our mission has always been to reinvigorate classical music by taking it out of traditional venues and into local spaces across the UK.”
The new season features several venue debuts, including Leeds’ Project House and London’s 229 and neon194. The program will also include the company’s first performance in Berlin, featuring the Vision String Quartet.
Highlights of the season include performances by legendary supergroup the olllam, Classic FM Rising Star nominee Aaron Azunda Akugbo, and the return of The Alehouse Sessions with Bjarte Eike and Barokksolistene, who will perform at London’s KOKO nightclub.
The diverse program reflects through the noise’s commitment to breaking down barriers in classical music presentation, featuring everything from traditional classical repertoire to fusion performances blending different musical traditions.
Tickets for the new season are available through the company’s website, with many performances expected to sell out based on previous demand.
