If all goes according to plan, I’ll be the second weekly contributor tomorrow morning to the new Arts Report feature on WQXR, New York’s classical music station. That’s the public radio station sold not long ago by the NY Times to WNYC (New York Public Radio). About three weeks ago, I contributed to member-supported WQXR in a different way. (No, art-lings, this was NOT pay-to-play; my donation was far too modest for that!)
As I told the producer I spoke to today, this gig is a kick for me because WQXR is the station I listen to most. I love WNYC and all the people I work with there. But they don’t call me (or, more accurately, I don’t call me) CultureGrrl for nothing: I’m a classical music buff!
You can hear me on WQXR tomorrow at 8:30 a.m. at 105.9 FM on the radio (if you’re within broadcast range) or on the station’s homepage by clicking the “Listen” button on the right. The podcast should be online shortly after the broadcast, so you can hear me at your convenience. (I’ll update this post with the link, once it’s up.)
I’ll be talking about what I consider to be a serendipitous synergy among shows that are now up at three major New York museums. Maybe we can start a trend here!
