You've been telling us the music you want to hear this Australia Day Weekend and from Saturday 23 to Tuesday 26 January we’ll be playing the music you’ve chosen.
Enjoy four days packed with the sounds that inspired your love of classical music, the pieces you fell in love to, melodies that evoke your memories of home or families, and the music that has brought you calm during the pandemic.
“You have all kept me company whilst working in a bedroom for 10 months and still going. This lively piece gets me up and energised every time.” — Deirdre, NSW
We’ll be playing requests in all of your favourite programs, and have some special slots dedicated to your Baroque picks, screen music, opera and more. | | | | | | |
