SeriesErland Cooper: Series 7

Reflective musical refuges ft. Nikita Gill

Ultimate Calm

Available for 29 days

Scottish composer and musician Erland Cooper invites you to escape to a reflective musical refuge with him, with songs that bring consolation from Joanna Brouk, Alessandra Novaga and Harlan Silverman, and musings on family, roots and a sense of belonging. Also, the Irish-Indian writer, playwright and poet Nikita Gill shares a song she discovered at the beginning of her teenage years, reflecting on how it brought her peace in that particularly turbulent time, and why she still turns to it in moments when she needs musical consolation. Produced by Cat Gough A Reduced Listening Production for BBC Radio 3 and BBC Radio 3 Unwind
