Bright Horizons

Elizabeth Alker welcomes in the new year with another late-night journey through fresh music from today’s most exciting genre-defying artists.

Join Elizabeth Alker with a selection of fresh music for the new year from genre-defying artists as we journey through landscapes of ambient and experimental sounds. 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.

Produced by Geoff Bird
A Reduced Listening production for BBC Radio 3
