Verity Sharp invites legendary singer Diamanda Galás to put together a mixtape.

Verity Sharp invites legendary singer Diamanda Galás to put together a mixtape. Also tonight, an exclusive new work for Radio 3 by Abel Selaocoe, commissioned by Opera North.

Verity Sharp presents a 30-minute mixtape compiled by legendary singer Diamanda Galás, who chooses an array of works from her favourite avant-garde composers.

After debuting with the San Diego Symphony Orchestra as a piano soloist at 14, in 1969, Galás became internationally recognised as a performance artist, composer, and vocalist of singular quality, exploring and experimenting within the traditions of Middle Eastern, Eastern European, and Western classical music, as well as the blues. An active collaborator, she has worked with composers Iannis Xenakis and John Zorn, music groups Erasure and Einstürzende Neubauten, and film directors Wes Craven and Francis Ford Coppola, among many others.

Also tonight, there’s a classic concert recording from another of the all-time great singers, Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, plus exciting new music from psychedelic, electronic, free jazz duo Anteloper. And finally, hear an exclusive new work for BBC Radio 3 by cellist-vocalist Abel Selaocoe, commissioned from Opera North by the BBC Arts Culture in Quarantine project.  They asked musicians to compose a piece for a walk at a particular time of day.
