Our friends and supporters tell us they love The Music Show presented on Radio National.

Gregorian chant or hip hop, kd lang or a rookie conductor — all get the rapt attention they deserve in this mix of conversation and music hosted by Andrew Ford. 

Recent episodes include broadcasts from WOMADelaide 2024 and interviews with Simone Young, Peter Garrett and British Director Jo Davies, the new artistic director of Opera Australia, or a dig into the archives to look at the role music played in the 1984–5 United Kingdom miners' strike. And, of course, lots of music!

Airs Saturday and Sunday 11am Repeated: Saturday and Sunday 9pm, Tuesday and Wednesday at 4am.
