Afrodeutsche hosts an hour of escapist and immersive new music from the UK's brightest contemporary composers and performers. This week featuring music from Vanbur, Laura Cannell, Vince Pope, and a new recording of a classic work for choir from Scottish composer Sir James Macmillan.

Plus new music from BBC Introducing from a composer or artist who we think is currently "Making Waves."
