  I understand that preserving QXR represents a great opportunity to preserve classical music listening in the city and to expand public radio. I do however feel a sadness at losing Evening Music.

  I grew up listening to QXR every evening as a child and now keep on evening music for myself and my kids as I find it great company and very calming. I also love to expose my kids to classical and other music.

  The thing that I cherish most about evening music is the variety of styles and of course, the quality. I guess I will listen to classical, but not with the same relish.

  Terrence - I have been so impressed since your arrival (and meant to write) about the quality of music you present and the depth with which you have broadened the selections.

  You have extraordinary skill at presenting this fabulous range of music - without cheating the classical end. It is a pity that your format will not be there any longer.

  Thanks and good luck - Ellen Fishman

  I wholeheartedly agree with Ellen from Brooklyn - I cherish evening music and Terrence, your voice and choices have widened my own tastes and you've taught me so much. Where are you going? I hope we will still hear you.

  I'm looking for Terrence's next venue! Where are you headed?

  Sunset in San Jose Costa Rica watching the evening clouds fade in the twilight and the evening lights show up in the Escazu mountains won't be the same without your choice music!

  Terrence --

  I heard that the after-launch party will be taking place after the Carnegie Hall concert. Have you considered staking out the Carnegie Deli?

  Well said, Ellen. Thanks to you for that, and to you, Terrence, and David, for the program.

  Ellen from Brooklyn said it well. I listen to Terrence every night. I welcome the adventurous music selection...I don't have much classical music listening background or knowledge but I know I love what I hear on the show, and I'll miss it. At least we still have New Sounds!

  WNYC- I am very disappointed about what you've done to Evening Music. Variety, serendipity and the unexpected was what I listened for! It wakes up your ears, makes you pay more attention and form associations in your mind's ear and eye -- associations that can resurface in your own art.

  It has taken me a few days to figure out where "Evening Music" is on the dial. It is fine! Comes in loud and clear! Why are so many young people so "devastated" that there has been a change? One must adjust to change. I am 74 years old. I am willing to keep seeking the things that are important to me. Thank you, Terrance. Keep up the good work.

  Dear Terrance,

  Why do so many listeners assume you are going somewhere? Why....you just got here from Atlanta! And we in New York are so glad you are here. Please don't go away yet! You are an asset to our music waves even though it is via WQXR/Q2...or whatever. Do stay around.

  I can't get to email your program via WNYC or WQXR.

  Mon Dieu! Quel desastre! Il me faut de l'assistance! Je vous en prie!

  I tried to email you on WQXR on 10/16/09! I don't see my comment. What i said is that after much searching, I finally found you and Terrance. Today is 10/16/09. Please stay "on the waves"!

  Can someone please please tell ME where I can find my fave show..."evening music" I listen to NPR/NYCFM all day long.....was I in the bathroom when the audience was informed of this "change"...yes, change is good, I am all about growth, moving on, etc. BUT, please let me know where "evening music" is now located since I have grown accustomed to relaxing in bed listening.......PLEASE....

  ciao

  I can't say how sad I am that the wonderfully eclectic, varied, and urbane Evening Music has been replaced with talk radio on WNYC.

  It's a terrible waste of talent to condemn Terrance McKnight to a bland, generic program like Symphony Hall on WQXR (I mean, really? This man introduced me to Ziporyn, Finzi, Mompou, and Rhene-Baton, and you've got him pushing Mozart and Beethoven like some Intro to Western Music course?), and banish Q2 (the closest thing to Evening Music on the dial now) to late Saturday nights.

  I say let Terrance be Terrance.

  Terrance is truly one of the best things to come out of Atlanta in a long time...WNYC please please! don't waste such a wonderful talent.

  I am appalled at the blatant and unforgiveable lack of sensitivity by your so called "fans" of Terrance. Where are all those accolades for the guy that held fast to WNYC radio for so many years.Who gave us so much wonderfull music. I will miss his voice and "spinning on air" so very much. He didn't need to be replaced by anyone.
