25 years ago today, I joined as a new member of the BBC Radio 3 team. A quarter-century has passed, I’ve been in Manchester for more than 20 years and many wonderful colleagues have come and gone. Feeling a bit nostalgic, but still loving the music & the thrill of live radio 🎶 ❤️

on Erased Tapes

On the train 🚆 West Yorkshire ➡️ BBC Radio 3 with a carefully timed dog handover on the platform at Rochdale. Terry’s off to his grandma’s and I’m with you on the 📻 from 1pm with more delicious Stephen Hough, Nicola Benedetti plays Bartok & Rachel Podger plays Mozart. Who is with us?

Music that won’t stay in its box.

BBC Radio 3's genre-defying show, Unclassified, is live in London on 1st May.

Different studio, different show! I’m on @bbcradio3 with Classical Live 🎶 from 1 - 4 pm this afternoon. Here’s a little taster of what’s coming up …

.Kieran Brunt and Elizabeth Alker dive deep on Renaissance composer William Byrd and Brunt's forthcoming record inspired by his work talkhouse.com/william-byrds-…

“Consolations in Travel”, which I wrote for the BBC Concert Orchestra as part of Unclassified Live at the Southbank Centre, is the first track on my new album. This video is from the overwhelming premiere. Big love to everyone involved in making this performance possible.

Opening for the brilliant @galenandpaul at Bush Hall next Thursday - what a privilege!

Better get the Casios and cassettes packed.

See you there✌️

📅 Thu 23 Jan: Unclassified Live BBC Radio 3 Elizabeth Alker bbc.co.uk/events/edwp8g

Cannot wait for this and I can't wait to tell you who we have booked either 😍😍😍

❤️❤️

Out today, 'Collected Works 2018-22'. A profound period of self discovery and change captured in a record. To have this enter the world is like waking from a dream in which you believed you were already awake - a tectonic shift in reality. My eternal thanks. Link in bio.

A LOT of musicians on stage for rehearsals ahead of tonight’s CBSO performance of The Damnation of Faust by Berlioz - THSH (listen on BBC Radio 3 17th April)

Morning! BBC Radio 3 breakfast with you from 6:30 ⏰ Schubert, Vaughan Williams & Ravel easing you in nicely in the first hour. Music for Spring by maxrichtermusic & LANKUM, lovely This Is The Kit ahead of Unclassified Live, Mozart writes for oboe, Bartok + folk dances 🎻

If you’re interested in music I have made, then you shouldn’t miss this… I’m really into it and you will be too! instagram.com/p/C3-JNZ6tweI/…

Synth swells on minimalist seas, drones inspired by the characteristics of molten rock, introspective reflections on hometowns, fantasy dream spaces and imaginary landscapes. Unclassified, with Elizabeth Alker, on BBC Sounds is, well, unclassifiable.
