Nocturnes

Elizabeth Alker with a late-night journey through new music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists.

Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds that this week reflect the glorious light, joy and mystery of high summer. Along the way, we'll hear from emerging independent producers whose work plays with orchestral textures and classical form as well as the latest sounds from a new generation of contemporary composers who look to embrace the spirit of rock, pop and electronica.
