Every weekday from noon, The Brew is a chat and music show. Hosted by Phil Whelan, guests include regular contributors and drop-ins, who span topics from current affairs to cookery, sport, the arts, technology, and music... lots of music.
Happy Wednesday. Welcome to The Brew. Coming up at 12:10 our New York correspondent Tracy Quan is back, live from the Big Apple, where the New York primaries have just wrapped up. So, what's that actually all about? Listen to Tracy for more. Then at 12:40, Philippe Dova from RTL France joins us from Singapore to talk all about La Fête de la Musique, the World Music Festival, which he attended in Siem Reap last week. At 1:25, we have a slight 'variation' on our usual Wednesday classical music session. Paul Archibald is away on holiday, so instead today, live from Melbourne, we welcome back renowned Australian concert pianist Kristian Chong to The Brew. He's teamed up with the Hong Kong Phil's Principal Flute, Meg Sterling, for a stunning new album entitled 'Silver Skies - Music for Flute and Piano'. Released in May, it combines historical French flute traditions with some modern Australian composers who we all need to hear from.

Welcome to Wednesday on The Brew. At 12:10, New York correspondent Tracy Quan joins us. She'll give us her take on a broadcast from a few hours ago, as New York City's new mayor, Zohran Mamdani, took to the airwaves for his inaugural 'Ask the Mayor' segment on WNYC's Brian Lehrer Show. At 12:40, live from Cambodia, RTL France’s Philippe Dova brings us more French culture 'n' music, as are casting off for World Oceans Day next Monday with some watery French hits. Then at 1:25, 'classical' music day returns with Paul Archibald, live from Bangkok. Today, we’re off to the mystical, musical country of Wales, celebrating its fantastic choral tradition and exploring some of its finest composers. While Sir Karl Jenkins might be its most famous name today, the nation's first major female composer, Grace Williams, whose music we’ll hear today as well, actually uses rhythms to mimic the Welsh language in her works, as you’ll find out.
