RNZ Concert schedule update

Beginning on Saturday 2 March, RNZ Concert is making a few changes to the times we broadcast some of our radio programmes.

This is to better serve you, our listeners, to utilise our presenters' expertise, and to offer new opportunities for listening to the wide variety of programming offered on RNZ Concert - your station for fine music and composition, live broadcasts of concerts and recitals from New Zealand, as well as international content from other public radio broadcasters, podcasts, and on-demand programmes.

Here is a summary of the changes. They are also shown in an image below:

Saturdays on RNZ Concert

Weekend Brunch, 9am - 12pm Saturday & Sunday

RNZ Concert's Saturday Brunch changes names and stretches to Sunday, bringing you a breezy collection of full classical works with a weekend twist.

RNZ Concert Chart with Rick Young, 12pm Saturdays

The RNZ Concert Classical Chart is evolving as music listeners explore new ways of purchasing and accessing music online. Instead of presenting a Top Ten countdown, the RNZ Concert Chart will highlight top selling new releases and classic albums from New Zealand and around the world, and dip into the occasional jazz and world music albums as well.

From the Top, 1pm Saturdays

RNZ Concert's weekly sampling of New Zealand's favourite classical music from Settling the Score moves from Sunday mornings to Saturday afternoon. Rick Young presents.

Appointment, 7pm Saturdays

Appointment returns to the RNZ Concert air waves and dives into stories about music and music makers.

Eva Radich shines a weekly, music-filled spotlight on artists and musical matters.

The Musical Omnivore, 2pm Sunday

David Morriss' programme moves from midday to 2pm, where he shares his unique taste in music with scratchy records, classic artists, baroque-fever, and passion for the great romantics from Bruckner to Mahler. The programme includes Vintage Years.

 

 

Weekdays on RNZ Concert

2-3pm Weekdays

The mid-afternoon explores diverse music with re-broadcasts of our special weekend programmes, including Inside Out, In the Spotlight, Pick and Mix, Worlds of Music, New Horizons, and the Silver Screen.

Exploring Music with Bill McGlaughlin 7pm weeknights

American broadcaster, Bill McGlaughlin, delves into a new musical theme each week. On special occasions, Exploring Music will shift to 6:30 pm to accommodate live broadcasts of Music Alive around New Zealand.

This summer, Music Alive returned to its traditional time of 8pm. Clarissa Dunn presents weeknights from 8pm, Saturdays at 3pm, and Saturdays again at 8pm. She will also present Sound Lounge, RNZ Concert's weekly exploration of new music from New Zealand and around the world, after 9:30pm on Saturday evenings.
