Gabriel Prokofiev is composer of classical and electronic music, and the 
founder & artistic director of Nonclassical record label and events (in 
2004). Gabriel holds a unique position at the cross-roads between 
classical and electronic music. His compositions instinctively combine 
his contrasting backgrounds in underground electronic music, 
contemporary classical and traditional European classical.

His music first gained international recognition when his genre defying 
Concerto for Turntables no.1 was performed at the BBC Proms in the Royal 
Albert Hall in 2011, a work that has gone on to become one of the most 
performed 21st century contemporary concertos. As well as composing 11 
orchestral concertos, he has composed many works for strings and live 
electronics (which he performs live onstage) and has performed 
throughout Europe, America and Asia. His latest work is the first ever 
‘Synthesiser Concerto’, written for solo mini-moog and symphony 
orchestra, which was premiered in Casa da Musica, Porto on 15th November 
2025. He is a member of South Korean Trio: Project tHinG. His new album 
‘Dark Lights’ was recently released on the Nonclassical label.

Through Nonclassical, he has been one of the leading proponents of 
presenting classical music in non-traditional venues. As artistic 
director he has curated and produced over 100 events with Nonclassical, 
from intimate classical-club nights, to big orchestral ware-house 
happenings, mainly in the UK, but also with touring Nonclassical events 
in USA, Latvia, Germany, Austria, Hong Kong, Seoul and more.

His live performances of electronics alongside classical ensembles & 
orchestras, and unique DJ-sets appeal to both classical fans, who are 
looking for music that genuinely connects to contemporary life; and 
electronic music fans who are looking for new directions in electronic 
music.


In 2026, Gabriel co-founded ‘Prokofiev Studios’, a new culturally open, 
multi-format space for the creative communities of Hackney.

Gabriel will talk about his experiences and ideas on:

- electronic music, combining it with the contrasting world of classical 
music to challenge genre definitions and restrictions

- navigating a career as a composer.

- the story of founding and building ’nonclassical’ events & record 
label.
