The Rhythm Divine With Geoff Wood Sunday 6am Repeated: Monday 1am  http://www.abc.net.au/rn/rhythmdivine/ Global Spirit, Local Song Time once again for our concert series The Rhythm Sessions, this week coming to you from western Sydney with the divine sounds of Bonnyrigg. Located 30 kms south-west of the Sydney CBD, in Fairfield City, Bonnyrigg is one of the most culturally and religiously diverse suburbs in Australia. And yet while the community is a vibrant one, a multi-cultural success story, the sacred sounds of its faith communities have been largely overlooked. Until now. Sound Quality With Tim Ritchie Friday 11:20pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/soundquality/ Hear the God of Death and the Underworld. Or rather you can hear two improvisation artists' realisation of what they think the God would sound like. And wonderful new forms of electronica from North America; master producer Adrian Sherwood returns in triumph and a dip in the Pool. The Weekend Planet With Doug Spencer Saturday 10pm and Sunday 10pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/weekendplanet/ On Saturday - Anoushka Shankar - 'Traveller' 'I've always loved flamenco' says sitar virtuoso Anoushka Shankar.  Her album's guitar-toting Spanish producer Javier Limón  says, 'For me, flamenco is like the little brother of Indian music.' Traveller is a very happy, richly diverse marriage of (mostly) Subcontinental and Iberian  elements, players and singers.  There are lovely, playful encounters between Spanish and Indian strings, percussion, voices, hands and dancing feet. Recorded on several continents, Traveller is an unusually close collaboration between primary artist and producer; they co-wrote most of the music's composed notes. Into The Music Saturday 4pm http://www.abc.net.au/radionational/programs/intothemusic/ Concord of sweet sounds: Soprano Julianne Baird on Shakespeare and the voice. There is much music in the theatre of the great Bard, with about 160 songs alluded to in Shakespeare's plays. In conversation with Robyn Johnston, American soprano Julianne Baird explores the Shakespeare songbook, and also talks about her own work as a singer, demonstrating the artistry and scholarship that led the New York Times to describe her as 'one of the most extraordinary voices in the service of early music that this generation has produced'. Julianne Baird is a Distinguished Professor of Music in the Department of Fine Arts at Rutgers University in New Jersey, USA. In August 2012, she visited Perth as part of the Professors-at-Large program, hosted by the University of Western Australia's Institute of Advanced Studies. While at UWA, she gave a lecture-recital discussing and performing songs from the plays of William Shakespeare.
