Kudos to CEO Laura Walker and the WQXR/WNYC staff for having the vision to hire yet another creative thinker. Graham Parker has been the Executive Director of the Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, where he has been doing brilliant work. He will fill the newly-created post of Vice President of Classical 105.9 WQXR. Parker has a deep set of skills in business and live music production, is innovative and openminded, and I know first hand that his radio sense more than makes up for not having run an actual station before.
From the press release:
“Graham’s reputation as an innovative content producer, a champion of artists, and a collaborative manager is a dazzling match for our ambitions to make WQXR a vibrant classical music platform for 21st century audiences on-air and online, in New York and around the globe,” said Ms. Walker.
I have an interview coming with Graham Parker on Friday afternoon, so watch this space.
