WDNA-FM Community Public Radio works to ensure a world where local community and culture are always represented on the south Florida airwaves.

Through live, locally produced radio programs WDNA highlights iconic, contemporary, independent music and artists from Jazz to Blues, Afro-Caribbean, South American, Brazilian, world music and eclectic sounds. In the WDNA Jazz Gallery, the station's intimate performance space, students, artists, and audiences who love to listen and learn find a home.

Your Donation keeps on-air programs, live concerts and education programs thriving in our community.

Radio:  WDNA plays music you just don't find anywhere else. Playlists are selected by local, mostly volunteer hosts who love music and deep cuts just as much as you do. Now it's even easier to listen to WDNA with the new WDNA APPListen live, check the playlist, send a voice note and more!

Concerts + Live Performance:  Every 2nd Friday of the month is Jazz Encounters ft. jazz and jazz-adjacent artists, followed by an open jam session where pros and students connect. Every Tuesday and Thursday, 11am - 12pm, take your lunch break at WDNA with free, live performances by students, faculty and alumni of the FIU School of Music and UM's Frost School of Music. Concerts take place in the WDNA Jazz Gallery - an intimate listening space at 2921 Coral Way. 

Music Education:  Every Saturday, WDNA partners with the Jazz Education Community Coalition to provide a space for their weekly jazz workshop to train students of all skills, ages & social backgrounds interested in jazz. Each spring, WDNA hosts Jazz Camp Scholarship auditions to send middle and high school students to the Litchfield Jazz Camp and Festival.
