The Rest is Noise: Southbank festival to celebrate contemporary classical music
London's Southbank Centre to host year-long festival inspired by Alex Ross's study of 20th-century classical music
When Alex Ross started writing The Rest is Noise in 2000 he never expected that a book about 20th-century classical music would go on to sell 250,000 copies and win literary prizes around the world – including the Guardian First Book Award. Now the book's extraordinary success has scaled new heights with the announcement of a year-long festival at London's Southbank Centre which aims to bring it to life.
