Series Eleanor Alberga

Arise Athena

Composer of the Week

Available for 11 days

Eleanor Alberga is a quietly rebellious composer. She draws inspiration from Jamaican folk songs, children's fairytales, ancient mythology - even chemistry. She was one of the first pianists to take modern dance seriously. And as a student, she arrived to performances on a motorcycle. This week, Alberga joins Kate Molleson and takes us on a journey from Kingston to London and beyond. In today's programme, Alberga takes Kate Molleson on a tour through some of her latest and most eclectic influences...
