Thom Yorke will debut his classical composition “Don’t Fear The Light” for the first time this weekend.
The incredibly talented musician will share his composition using two pianos along with a modular synthesizer. The performance will air on April 28 on BBC Radio 3’s Unclassified.
During the show, Yorke will play some of his other pieces including work he did for the Suspirium soundtrack. Here is the full programme:

Thom Yorke: Suspirium

“Katia and Marielle suggested for a few years that I write some music for them,” the Radiohead frontman explained to Unclassified. “Usually I would laugh and explain that I couldn’t read music, but in truth, I was intrigued by the idea.
“I realized writing for score or on a sequencer and modular gear are really not so far apart but the best part for me was watching the basics of what I’d written being brought to life by the sisters and their interpretation, making the notes theirs.”
Tune in on Sunday (April 28) to hear the full program.
