French term or phrase: conjuguent la musique à tous les temps
This is from a description of a radio station's summer program schedule.

Le temps de la détente et des loisirs. Avec (name of program), J.M. et L.T. conjuguent la musique à tous les temps, M.F. et K.P. restent à l'affût de toutes les tendances de l'été, et les choix de F.S. et S.R. donnent envie de découvrir les livres de l'été, les séries et les films en DVD.

Thanks,

Of course, it could be that they play a variety of light classical - from all the centuries.

"Conjugate" almost seems to refer to "all the tempos" - up-tempo, ballads - but that would be a new one on me.
