My wife contacted you via that contact link I contacted you via Twitter Twitter was the only medium that either of us received a response on, so not sure contact link is actually your "best contact". Please understand we were just trying to assist and are big fans of @ABCClassic

Thanks David. We really appreciate it and are really sorry about that your messages slipped through the cracks on both twitter and our contact form. It is rare, but we'll certainly look into our processes to try and prevent this in the future.

@ABCClassic which Mozart piano concerto was on at 6:30 WA time this morning please?

Hi Michael - unfortunately we have lost some data in the power outage and can't retrieve playlists from this morning.
Is this still available anywhere?

We were only able to present the live concert so this is no longer available. We have some video footage of Yo-Yo Ma's Day of Action performances in Sydney if that's of interest. ab.co/34mRb9n, ab.co/33oTRSO

Can a tuning fork improve your wellbeing? Decluttering guru Marie thinks it can. But at a frequency of 4,096 hertz, her special tuning fork might not be very helpful for your instruments. ab.co/2skyu8l

Replying to @eventrical
Hi David - even in correcting audio, that audio can only be made available for 30 days following the broadcast. The Side by Side concert was rebroadcast and therefore the new audio was available with permission for 30 days after broadcast.

Do you think you'd be able to distinguish between a love song and a lullaby, if they were sung in a language you don't speak? According to new research, you probably would. ab.co/35x1EPI
