Music Alive

Monday to Saturday at 8 pm.

Live concerts featuring local and international artists. A rough guide would indicate that Mondays feature the first broadcast of a new recording; on Wednesdays we broadcast something from overseas, from the European Broadcasting Union or Classic FM in Australia, it could be from the Salzburg Festival or from the Sydney Opera House; Thursdays are often the domain of the Auckland Philharmonia live from the city’s Town Hall; on Friday you’re likely to hear something alternative, it could be a recording from the Wellington International Jazz Festival or Ustad Shahid Parvez and Pandit Anindo Chatterjee playing sitar and tabla; the NZSO usually lay claim to Saturday’s Music Alive, or you might hear an ensemble touring with Chamber Music New Zealand.

If you can’t get to the concert hall tune in to Music Alive. Free entry.
