I just found out this morning that the program has been
switched to the fall schedule and is now being aired on WEDNESDAY mornings
instead of Tuesdays. For those in the NYC - NJ - Phila area it's 103.3
FM.

That's so true - there are so many great composers,
both past and present, who undeservedly go unheard. If anyone has the
chance, I strongly recommend tuning in to the web broadcast from Princeton
University's station WPRB ( http://www.wprb.com/ ) on Tuesdays
from 6:00 to 11:00 AM EST for the program "Classical Discoveries"
hosted by the extremely knowledgeable and informative Marvin Rosen
( http://ourworld.cs.com/clasdis
). Marvin plays a wonderful selection of largely ignored classical
music from all eras, from the earliest extant music manuscripts to music
that was written within the past several months. He's a tireless
champion of unheard composers and his program is always worth hearing for
the gems that he manages to find and share.
