Ellie Ajao

Ellie Ajao explores the quirky, peculiar and sometimes surprising connections that link the music tracks in her personal selection.

Uncovering the quirky, peculiar and personal connections that link music through history. Each piece of this half-hour eclectic music sequence is linked to the previous one, through all manner of connections, some tangential, some personal, often surprising.

This new series of three episodes introduces presenter Ellie Ajao, a recent graduate of Royal Holloway, University of London, and a former ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Open Music trainee. Ellie loves nothing more than talking about music and culture. Keen to make classical music accessible to people from all backgrounds, Ellie’s work is centred around uncovering the wonderful music of underrepresented composers.

Ellie's music choices in this first episode include pieces by Elizabeth Maconchy, Ravel, Stravinsky and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor.
