Dawn choruses

Elizabeth Alker with a mix of ambient and experimental music that welcomes in the light, featuring choirs of singers both human and non-human.

In the week of International Dawn Chorus Day (celebrated on the first Sunday in May each year), Elizabeth Alker presents a mix of ambient and experimental music that welcomes in the light, featuring choirs and singers both human and non-human. The composer Nala Sinephro counts birds among her teachers; Nyokabi Kariūki creates evocative soundscapes for the early morning; and Sarah Davachi’s instrumental music ushers in a spirit of quiet reverence.
