Immersive music for after-hours

Sara Mohr-Pietsch presents an adventurous, immersive soundtrack for late-night listening, from classical to contemporary and everything in between.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch explores music of light and shadow from jazz pianist Hania Derej, and from the Orchestra of the Swan. There's virtuosic theremin player Hekla Magnusdottir, and fellow Icelandic pianist Vikingur Olafsson reworks on of Bach's solo cello suites. Austrian percussionist Rupert Struber plays music for solo typewriter and the Scottish musician Julie Fowlis sings a North Uist ballad.
