About WQXR
 

Classical 105.9 FM WQXR is New York City’s only all-classical music station, immersing listeners in the city’s rich musical life. The "new" WQXR sounds largely familiar to longtime WQXR listeners, though it takes a more deliberate approach to the "best of the best" of the classical core, with a particular focus on live music from New York’s unparalleled cultural scene. WQXR presents new and landmark classical recordings as well as live concerts from the Metropolitan Opera, the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center, and the New York Philharmonic, among other city venues. WQXR broadcasts essential shows such as Metropolitan Opera Radio Saturday Matinee Broadcasts, The Philharmonic This Week on Thursday evenings, McGraw Hill Young Artists Showcase on Wednesday evenings, and Symphony Hall each weeknight. They also hear more programming from the city's cultural organizations such as the Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.

Music is hosted by Jeff Spurgeon in the morning,
Midge Woolsey in the afternoons and Elliott Forrest during the weekend "brunch" hour. WNYC's David Garland and Terrance McKnight, formerly heard in the evenings on WNYC, host classical music in the evenings on WQXR. Naomi Lewin, the new afternoon host, joined WQXR from WGUC, Cincinnati's Classical Public Radio. Lewin has also produced Met Cameos for the Metropolitan Opera's international radio broadcasts. Exploring Music, hosted by Bill McLaughlin, is now heard in the late evening.
