KALW is proud to bring you music of various genres, a true rarity for public radio stations these days.  (Consult our Program Guide for details on upcoming programs.)

On Monday evenings at 9pm from August 11 through September 29, join us for Center Stage From Wolf Trap, concert highlights from one of the best Washington DC music venues, hosted by Rich Kleinfeldt & Bill McGloughlin.   At 10pm we continue broadcasting Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center concerts, hosted by Elliott Forrest.  Beginning October 6, KALW continues its association with San Francisco Performances with Explorations in Music.  This time around, the Alexander String Quartet and Robert Greenberg highlight the connections between contemporary composers and the classic string quartet repertoire.  At 11pm it's The Record Shelf with Jim Svejda.

On the first Tuesday of the month, KALW host Alan Farley offers My Favorite Things and invites a guest to share their favorite recordings.  Tuesday evening is also when KALW presents various Performing Arts Specials.  (Note:  on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month, KALW broadcasts live coverage of the San Francisco Unified School District board meetings.)

On Wednesday evenings, the blues are highlighted with Fog City Blues hosted by Devon Strolovitch at 9pm, Mark Naftalin's Blues Power Hour at 10pm, and Beale Street Caravan at 11pm.

Thursday evenings explore music of Africa and the African diaspora with Africa Mix, hosted by Pamela Brown and Emmanuel Nado.

Friday evenings travel from the past to the very present, beginning with an archived My Music from the BBC, music from the Great American Songbook on Fascinatin' Rhythm at 10pm, and an hour of contemporary Music from Other Minds at 11pm.

On Saturdays the focus is on folk and bluegrass in the afternoon hours, with Thistle & Shamrock, Folk Music & Beyond, A Patchwork Quilt, and Bluegrass Signal.  Then, from 8 to midnight, Tangents defies categorization, taking you on a genre-bending musical journey.

Sunday evenings bring Then & Now, two hours of classical and new music hosted by Sarah Cahill, followed by Music from the Hearts of Space with host Stephen Hill.  KALW is also broadcast home of the Berkeley Symphony Orchestra, which is heard on selected Sunday afternoons.
