Radio schedule
A festival focusing on the weather and changing environments wouldn’t be complete without the medium of radio: a continuous radio stream will be running throughout the festival, 24 hours a day. The stream begins at 8:00 on May 1st, and features live recordings of concerts, conversations, and talks, alongside playlists curated by the Q-O2 team members and interns, programs focusing on special artists within this year’s theme, live radio performances, ambient sounds from the concert venues, and dawn choruses from around the world. The continuous radio stream is diffused on Radio P-node, and relayed by Shirley & Spinoza, Radio Tsonami, Cashmere Radio and Radio Plato. And, we’d like to thank Wave Farm for the Soundcamp/Reveil broadcast on Dawn Chorus Day.
Focus on
The ‘focus on’ programs highlight special artists or initiatives that are or have been active within the festival’s theme, including the following:
