As the world swirls around, Hannah Peel takes us on a late-night journey in and around Dvorak's nostalgic New World Symphony, with music that evokes a sense of solace and belonging - from Ballaké Sissoko on his Malian rooftop to Bon Iver telling us nothing is forever and music by musician Jon Hopkins that begins alone but morphs into a swell of voices and togetherness.
