Programme Details

For the perfect ending to your week, make a date at 9 pm on Sundays with “Classical Sunday on SAfm”, three hours of the world’s best music to refresh your spirit and to set you up for the week ahead. Knowledgeably and wittily presentedJohn Orr in Cape Town, “Classical Sunday on SAfm” brings you a full symphony concert in the first half, with all the Big Works, from Bach to Shostakovich, played by South Africa’s top orchestras, often with internationally famous soloists. (This is the only full, live symphony concert broadcast in the country.) In the second half of the programme we let our hair down a bit more and play a variety of popular and sometimes surprising classical pieces, with even the odd bit of crossover music thrown in. Our presenters are renowned experts who not only inform and put the music in context, but also entertain and demystify. That’s “Classical Sunday on SAfm” at 21:00 (and don’t forget John Orr’s Concert Hour, Saturday and Sunday mornings, for the early risers – or just a good way to wake up).
