Classic fM is the only classical music station in Africa with expert business and financial focus. But don’t be fooled by the perception that classical music belongs in a more sedate world from the past.  It is modern, relevant, accessible and entertaining.

Classic fM fits into the Joburg scene as naturally as the mine dumps, shebeens and choral festivals. Situated in the centre of up-and-coming Braamfontein, the station is surrounded by pubs, theatres and concert halls. Monthly classical concerts are held by the station and Classic fM also publicise choral, classical and even certain acoustic jazz events from across Gauteng.

The station is also actively involved in commissioning new recordings from top South African artists and aggressively promotes their efforts both “on” and “off” air. We are strongly involved in promotion of the arts and have partnered with the Johannesburg Philharmonic Orchestra, the South African Ballet Theatre, Ballet Africa and the Civic Theatre, to name but a few.
