Esa-Pekka Salonen marks his departure as the orchestra's principal conductor with a series of concerts at London's South Bank Centre containing some of the works closest to his heart. In a typically ingenious programme, Salonen contrasts Beethoven's classically oriented First Symphony with the Romanticism of Liszt - in the the hands of the great virtuoso pianist, Yefim Bronfam. And Salonen brings his brilliant sense of form and texture to the final symphony of his Finnish compatriot, Jean Sibelius. Stravinsky's Symphonies of Wind Instruments, with its haunting, chorale-like closing bars has long been one of the conductor's party pieces and it makes a fascinating addition to a programme containing no fewer than three symphonies.

Ian McMillan on how language and poetry affect our perception of time. In this Verb, he explores slowness with Professor Danny Dorling, asks poet Rachael Boast to read her own time- bending poetry (and to take us deep into the time zone inhabited by Samuel Taylor Coleridge). Philosopher Roman Krznaric shows how to write about future time and people, and Verb regular Kate Fox offers an insight into book groups for other species: the slow-reading flies and the fast-reading deep-sea isopods.

FRI 22:45 The Essay (m000wm7d) In Albania

King Zog - And Time to Leave

It's the mid-1990s. Joanna Robertson lives in tumultuous Albania, where she's moved to be a journalist. King Leka Zogu returns from exile in a quest to regain his throne. Joanna meets the king as he campaigns in rural, monarchist strongholds ahead of a national referendum. But the country is unpredictable and dangerous, still in the throes of anarchy and violence, largely controlled by armed criminal groups. Does Joanna now know too much? When she’s the target of a shooting, and is later ambushed at gunpoint, she has to ask - has the time come to leave?

Presenter: Joanna Robertson Producer: Arlene Gregorius

FRI 23:00 Late Junction (m000wm7g) Enter the Dream Machine

The dream world has long provided a rich source of inspiration to artists, from the ‘dream music’ of La Monte Young to Delia Derbyshire’s radio inventions and Aphex Twin’s music for lucid dreaming. This month, as the UK wakes up from a year of hibernation, a time when many have experienced vivid dreams, Late Junction explores the music of dreams and the different ways they have inspired artists. In collaboration with the artist Sam Potter, we try to imagine what a communal dream, generated by the Late Junction audience, might sound like.

Last year Potter trained an artificial intelligence programme on pages from his dream diary until it could generate texts that convincingly mimicked his dreams. Over the last month, Sam has been feeding the machine dreams sent in by Late Junction listeners, and the result is a series of AI-generated, collective dream texts. We then invited a selection of composers to set these texts to music, starting with the French composer Felicia Atkinson. Verity is joined by Sam Potter to talk us through how the machine works and introduce our first commission.

Also on the show, we have a mixtape from the Kenyan sound artist and ambient musician KMRU. His work incorporates field recordings, machine learning, radio art and improvisation. For his mixtape, he dives headfirst into the dream world, crafting a kaleidoscopic, 30-minute, fever dream. Elsewhere we play devotional music from Gujarat and music by Jon Hassell inspired by Malaysian dream theory.
