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 from 9-11 we feature chamber music from such venues as Lincoln Center, Wolf Trap, Music at Menlo, Santa Fe, and other locales, depending on availability.  Beginning in January, we bring you highlights from the San Francisco Conservatory of Music with host David Latulippe and From the Conservatory at 9pm.  At 10pm we bring you the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and 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.)  We're also giving you a second opportunity to hear Sound Opinions - the world's only rock and roll talk show with hosts Jim DeRogatis and Greg Kot - now on Tuesdays at 11pm in addition to its regular broadcast time of Sundays at 2pm. 

On Wednesday evenings, we've expanded our local blues program to two hours - Fog City Blues with host Devon Strolovitch can now be heard from 9-11pm, followed by Mark Naftalin's Blues Power Hour at 11pm.

On Thursday evenings we invite you to 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 at 8:30, and music from the Great American Songbook on Fascinatin' Rhythm at 9pm.  Chloe Veltman is your host at 10pm for Voice Box, which explores all aspects of the art of vocal singing, followed by 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.
