15 years ago today, Kanye West released his 2006 live album 'Late Orchestration'. It saw the Chicago rapper teaming up with a 17-piece all-female string orchestra for an ambitious concert that featured expanded and reimagined takes of his biggest tracks of the time, and may be one of the most well-known instances of hip hop and classical music coming together.
