Live from WOMADelaide, music from Macedonia, Tibet, and Far North Queensland

Two banjo virtuosos, a six person vocal group from Southern France and a Canadian fusion ensemble join us on stage.

Matthias Schack-Arnott and Cédric Tiberghien on the philosophies and sounds of John Cage; Wayne Shorter remembered with an interview from The Music Show archives.

David Harrington on five decades revolutionising the string quartet, artist Christian Thompson reflects on his sound art, and the partnership between John Cage and Merce Cunningham. 

WOMADelaide headliner,  Vieux Farka Touré joins Robbie in the studio to talk about finding space for tradition, his collaboration with Khruangbin, and honouring the memory of his father. 

Rainbow Chan takes us through her practices as a musician and visual artist and the processes and explorations that emerge from her various artistic projects. She joins us ahead of her Chunyin performance coming up at Phoenix Central Park. 

Producer C shares another great queer love story from 20th century music. 

Battles, fantasias and dances with early music stalwart Jordi Savall, and improvising into a wall of sound with Party Dozen live in studio. 

You just can't get us out of your head.
