About ABC Classic 2

ABC Classic 2 is the ABC's online classical music stream. Where ABC Classic has presenters, concerts and features, ABC Classic 2 offers continuous classical music without presenters, and on this page you can listen to it live, free and without an app. The ABC is Australia's national public broadcaster, so its stations carry no commercial advertising.

Uninterrupted classical music

ABC Classic 2 plays classical music from every period, from baroque and classical to romantic and modern, without talk between the pieces. It is designed for listeners who want classical music in the background, whether they are working, studying, reading, cooking or relaxing.

Australian performers

Like ABC Classic, the stream draws on recordings by Australian orchestras, ensembles and soloists, alongside the great international recordings of symphonies, concertos, chamber music, choral works and opera.

ABC Classic and ABC Classic 2

The two stations complement each other. ABC Classic, on FM across Australia, has presenters, live concerts and listener countdowns; ABC Classic 2 is a quieter companion for when you just want the music. Both are on this site.

For study and work

With no ads and no talk, ABC Classic 2 is a popular choice as study music and as calm background music in offices, shops and waiting rooms. Many parents also use it as gentle music for children at bedtime.

Other ABC music stations

On this site you will also find ABC Jazz, ABC Country, Double J and triple j, as well as the ABC's local, news and national stations.

Listen anywhere

The stream works on any phone, tablet or computer, in Australia and abroad. Because it has no presenters, it is also a good choice for playing quietly through the night.

How to listen

Press play at the top of the page to start the live stream. There is no app to install and no account to create, and the player keeps going while you browse other stations. If you prefer presenters and live concerts, switch to ABC Classic at any time.
