Public Radio Classical Music Broadcasting, In Nation's Capital, Struck Down By Neoconservative Musical Meteorite

Listeners in Classical WETA-FM Lite's "Greater Washington" will not be hearing the following program, this week, on NPR's SymphonyCast, since the program contains humanistic works by two Classical WETA-FM Lite proscribed 20th century composers, Nikolai Yakovlevich Myaskovsky and Dmitri Shostakovich:

The Greater Nation's Capital, on the linked Map, appears to have been hit earlier this year by a neo-conservative musical meterorite rendering it's public radio classical music broadcasting humanistically lifeless.



















Master classical composers Myaskovsky and Shostakovich are unwanted -- by the lone Classical Music Director -- on public radio in the Nation's Capital.

The Nation's Capital has "come a long way, baby" since the days it welcomed Alexandr Isayevich Solzhenitsyn and Mstislav Leopoldovich Rostropovich.
