We recently completed the changeover to a new, much improved audio management system, including a new program scheduling computer, file servers, workstations and more secure and reliable IT networking between our studios in Garden City and Amarillo. This work involved thousands of audio files and lines of programming code, so you may hear some glitches in our programming as we "burn-in" the system. We apologize for any disruptions to your listening. If you have questions or problems to report, please contact HPPR's Technical Director, Alex Fregger (afregger@hppr.org).

The HSQ Plays Beethoven

This week's episode of Classical Music Amarillo will feature the Harrington String Quartet performing two compositions by Ludwig van Beethoven.

Tune in to Classical Music Amarillo this week to hear the Panhandle’s own Harrington String Quartet perform two works by Ludwig van Beethoven, a German composer of the nineteenth century who made a name for himself in 19th-century Vienna, the center of musical culture in Europe at the time.
Tune in this week for one of Beethoven’s Op. 18 quartets, which was composed during his early career and sounds quite Classical in character, followed by his Op. 130 string quartet, which was composed near the end of Beethoven's rather short life — an incredibly innovative composition in the 19th century.

HPPR's new host for Classical Music Amarillo, Dr. Kimberly Hieb, brings her rich knowledge of music history to our regional classical music program.
