Night music

Let your ears do the thinking with an immersive soundtrack for late-night listening, from classical to contemporary and everything in between.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch guides us through an immersive, late-night soundtrack, from classical to contemporary and everything in between. Tonight's programme features an iconic piece of 20th century American music by Charles Ives, choral music by Alissa Firsova, Kit Downes at the organ, and serenading us into the night, the so-called 'father of Ethio-jazz', Mulatu Astatke.

Night Tracks is Radio 3鈥檚 new late-night show, fronted by 大象传媒 Radio 3 presenter Sara Mohr-Pietsch, with regular episodes hosted by the award-winning composer and performer Hannah Peel.
