Hola, me encanta esta idea que teneis como orquesta. Llevo relativamente poco tiempo interesandome por la música clasica, aquí en mi ciudad y por no decir en mi país, hay poco interés por la musica clásica , por no decir casi inexistente, poca gente se para a deleitarse con la brillantez de la musica clasica, como cada instrumento se muestra, crece, se libera, expresa sus sentimiento, camina, se enorgullece... En fin llevo mucho tiempo con la idea en la cabeza, que sería maravilloso encontrar una orquesta que se libre de la "tiranía" del director, que sean libres, que no estén dirigidas y expresen la "vida" de una forma totalmente libre y creadora, es fantástico.

When I was in high school I worked in the biology prep area as part of my high school voluntary service. The person in charge would always listen to WQXR and this was my initial introduction to classical music. Later, I would visit central park and listen to the free outdoor concerts during the summer. I remember listening to Lloyd Moss and Duncan Purnee's(?sp.) "Cocktail Hour" every Friday afternoon. I'm glad that I started listened to WQXR during that time and I continue listening on-line whenever possible.

I grew up listening to WXQR and would like to express my opinion. My dad was a dedicated listener for many years but as the many years that have gone by there has been many changes in which I did not like for instance the way they unfairly got rid of Greg Whiteside who was a wonderful annoucer , and to me the greatest of all announcer was Mr. George Edwards , who is no longer with us , from what information I read that you got rid of him because he was at a retirement age that is terrible, well I can go on and on so let me finish by saying that I still listen to your station but with reservation. Some of the music you air to me is not considered classical music such as Mr. Aaron Copland and also some of the music sounds like someone is going crazy . Please focus on the greater composer such as Beethoven who to me is the greatest of all composer and also down the line is Mozart, Mendelson, Schubert etc.

I thought WQXR had just evaporated into dust and sparkles...only to find it had been transported to another scale on the dial...I am so glad, I do need my daily fix of fantabulous classical classics!

Kitchen radio has to be positioned towards the window atop the cereal cannister.
Bathroom radio has to be balanced on the hand-towel bar. Bedroom radio has to be positioned so that the speakers are turned away from me.

That aside, I'm so happy WQXR is alive and well. Thank you from a supporter.

Why in the world did you change frequencies? Not a change for the better. I miss the news at the top of the hour .

WQXR has been my company since I came to New York, without being able to speak English. I did not need language for the music. I have more questions than you want to answer, for sure. Why the interchange of frequencies? Was it necessary? Could not 96.3 be kept? I miss some of the best speakers, like J. Moreno, B. Jerome, C. Agree and others? Is it a way know where are they? I feel like my station has the name, but nothing is the same. Did the library of music changed hands?

I am heartbroken; have been listening to WQXR for more years than I can remember. I'm 87 years old now. Don't like listening to music on the computer.
Have no reception at all here in the Hudson Valley. We are too far away from the Empire State Bldg. here . This is a great disappointment to us Seniors who spend a lot of time at home.

why is Kevin Gordon not listed or even mentioned on your website when he apparently is going to be on afternoons for several weeks?

What happened to Nimet. She has been the host of music overnight for many, many years.

She is not listed on the new lineup with wnyc as the parent co.

Has Nimet retired or was she let go by wnyc?

Please advise us long time fans.

There seened to be no transparency in WNYC"s take over of WQXR. Listeners knew changes were coming but were in no way involved. Now all we can do is hope for the best but we must wonder why it had to happen this way.

I am as old as the now-ended New York Times sixty-five year ownership of WQXR. One of my cherished memories from not only long ago, but recently also, is tuning in at 8 PM to hear the chimes of Symphony Hall (and, as 9 PM approached, the closing theme: the second movement of Beethoven's Second Symphony). I tuned in just now specifically to see if the chimes of Symphony Hall with the introduction by, I think, old-time WQXR announcer Peter Allen were still there. But, as I suspected, they were not.

How come? We WQXR listeners cherish our traditions. What's the harm in maintaining them? I fear that you are already succumbing to the temptation of remaking WQXR according to your own likes rather than maintaining it as we the listeners like. If so, don't expect much from listener-sponsorship.

great switch over. loved the Hispanic-to-classical. i would relish a download. will such be available? i too went to sleep (sic) w/Nimet for years; Sam Hall is a State St. Bklyn neighbor and Jeff Spurgeon was a teaching colleague in Rockaway of a cousin. there's history here. tnx.

Oh, thank God. I tuned in to 96.3 and found salsa/rap......Aagh! I was going to do the food shopping but turned suicidal and had to run home and check out WQXR on the computer. I am so relieved. I must change that setting on the car radio.
