You only THOUGHT that the Savannah Music Festival (SMF) was once a year.  But, thanks to Georgia Public Broadcasting and the luxuries afforded us through technology, you can access past SMF concerts from your home, office or even your car.  So if you missed a performance you wanted to see, or if you want to relive a great moment in music, now’s your chance to catch some of the best performances of the world renown Savannah Music Festival.

Hosted by SMF Executive and Artistic Director Rob Gibson, the Savannah Music Festival LIVE radioshow is a weekly public radio show aired on the Georgia Public Broadcasting Radio Network.  It features performances from the last five years of Georgia’s largest musical arts event, including many concerts from the 2009 season.  The show also features special productions about past and present Georgia music luminaries such as Wycliffe Gordon and Johnny Mercer.

When can you hear it?   Tune into the GPB Radio Network on Mondays at 9 pm (or if you happen to be in Athens, listen to WUGA - 91.7 fm on Thursday nights at 8pm). But if once a week just won’t satisfy your SMF cravings, you can stream the concerts anytime through their website.  (Start streaming now.)  Available today are performances by the Prazak Quartet, Punch Brothers with Chris Thile, Mariza Live from the Lucas, and many more.  So listen while your work, drive or clean house.

And, speaking of the Savannah Music Festival, don’t forget to mark dates for the 2010 concert series on your calendar: March 18 - April 3, 2010.  (Season lineup to be announced October 15, 2009.)

Happy listening!
