The series is syndicated nationally to more than 200 markets by the WFMT Radio Network. WFMT's Kerry Frumkin is the host; WFMT's Mark Travis is the producer; New York Philharmonic audio director Lawrence Rock is the engineer and music producer.
The concerts (heard in the New York metropolitan area on 96.3 FM WQXR on Thursdays at 9 pm) will be available in streaming audio on demand at the Philharmonic's website (www.nyphil.org) for two weeks following the broadcast.
The New York Philharmonic's first live national radio broadcast took place in 1930 over the CBS radio network, with Erich Kleiber leading the orchestra at Carnegie Hall. The Philharmonic has since broadcast regularly on national radio; since 2002, the broadcasts have been available on its website.
The WFMT Radio Network, the international syndication division of Chicago classical music station 98.7 FM WFMT, produces and distributes these broadcasts nationwide. In addition to the New York Philharmonic broadcasts, WFMT syndicates concerts by the Los Angeles Philharmonic, Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Jazz at Lincoln Center and Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center.
