Illuminations

Elizabeth Alker with a mid-winter journey through new music from today鈥檚 most exciting genre-defying artists.

On the weekend of the winter solstice, join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music from genre-defying artists as we journey through ambient and experimental soundscapes that complement perfectly this unique moment in the year. And Elizabeth speaks with writer Melissa Harrison - author of books including 鈥楬omecoming: A Guided Journal to Lead You Back to Nature鈥 and 鈥楢ll Among The Barley鈥 - about the forthcoming Tune into Nature Prize that the two will help to judge and the profound connections that bind together music and the natural world.
