Community Calendar

In the spring of 2025 the West Texas A&M University School of Music will present for the first time “World Music Festival.” Plans call for an annual
festival in which the university community, as well as residents of Amarillo, Canyon and the surrounding region, will explore the vast musical offerings
of different countries. For the inaugural festival in 2025, the focus will be on American music. The featured guest artist will be internationally celebrated clarinetist - and WT graduate - John Tegmeyer. Mr. Tegmeyer will perform a solo concerto with the WT Symphonic Band under the direction of Professor of Music Don Lefevre. Also included will be performances by WT faculty and students.

HPPR's Living Room Concert Series continues with California-to-Austin singer-songwriter, Taylor Rae. A favorite among fans of High Plains Morning, her storytelling, voice, and melodies take the craft to new levels. And when we heard that this former-Texas Music Office featured performer was hitting the road and heading down Route 66, we jumped at the chance to host a show.

But listen up! This is a rare HOUSE CONCERT at a private residence, so SPACE IS LIMITED. We'll announce the location to those who RSVP, and be sure to bring some cash for the door to support the artist! (Note: this show will take place on a SUNDAY NIGHT, so we'll get things going a little earlier than usual: doors at 5:30p, show at 6p.) Standby for the location -- it's in south Amarillo/north Canyon. (Location to come!)

ABOUT TAYLOR RAE: If you listen to High Plains Morning, you might remember Jenny's interview with Taylor when her album Mad Twenties came out. But her new album, The Void, is out soon...with a new hit single "Cologne" hitting the charts by storm.

Taylor Rae spent years touring behind Mad Twenties, the career-launching debut album that spent more than 30 weeks on the Americana Radio charts. While the album's lead single, "Home on the Road," climbed into the Top 10, Rae kept the pedal glued to the metal, driving herself from show to show, watching America unfold outside the car windshield. With her second release, The Void, she takes her eyes off the road and turns her attention inward instead. Produced by Grammy winner Eric Krasno, The Void celebrates the contradictory and complementary parts of the human experience, exploring life's dark corners — from breakups to intergenerational trauma — with a colorful mix of roadhouse roots-rock, modern-day folk, alternative music, blues, and analog Americana. These are the most personal and introspective songs of her career, written by a road warrior who remains dedicated to the long haul... but is taking the time to appreciate the journey, too.

Join us for the grand return of the WT School of Music's Showcase of Music! This fast-paced spectacular showcases performances of WT's many ensembles including the vocal ensembles of Chamber Singers and Chorale, the WT Symphonic Band and Symphony, Trombone and Brass Choirs, Jazz Bands, Saxophone Ensemble, and Opera!

The electronic Ensemble will perform a mixed program of student made works, improvised electronic sets, and works for spatialized audio systems, both live and pre-recorded, for their Spring Concert. They will also be joined by WT student performers

Western Artist Allan Chapman and Jim Jones will be performing. Bring a lawn chair and your favorite beverage.
