Hannah Peel presents the final programme of highlights from a special Night Tracks live event at Kings Place in London, featuring performances from electronic music pioneer and composer John Foxx, Ruisi String Quartet, virtuoso qanun player Maya Youssef, pianist and composer Shida Shahabi, and experimental vocalist Hatis Noit.

Tonight we begin with two energetic tracks from Maya Youssef before we move into a powerful piece from Hatis Noit dedicated to the victims of the 2011 tsunami and the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster. There's brand new solo piano music from John Foxx; Shida Shahabi and her trio with a final musical offering with 'Deep Violet of Gold', and the Ruisi Quartet performs music from Oliver Leith's The Big House and a beautiful arrangement of a Bruckner motet to finish.

Live music and the arts: broadcasts more live music than any other radio network. Classical music is its core. Genres include world and new music, jazz, speech and drama.
