At a classical concert, it’s usually expected that the audience is receptive, passive and even reverential. But Jonny Greenwood and the London Contemporary Orchestra (LCO) soloists want something different.

For their show at Manchester’s Albert Hall, the audience were free to move as they liked and, continuing an idea used at previous performances, were invited to join in on their mobile phones during Greenwood’s “Self Portrait with Seven Fingers”.

We caught up with the Radiohead guitarist five days after the show, asking for impressions.
