KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at 15% of power, limiting its signal strength and range in the Amarillo-Canyon area. This due to complicated problems with its very old transmitter. Local engineers are continuing to work on the transmitter and are consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR Mix service or HPPR Connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Classical Music Amarillo

Russian Rockstars — Part 1

By Dr. Kimberly Hieb

Published July 21, 2023 at 7:30 AM CDT

For this first episode of a two-part series, we’ll listen in as the Amarillo Symphony performs music by Russian composers who were living and working in the 20th century.

добро пожаловать! (That's "Welcome" in Russian.) This week Classical Music Amarillo goes to Mother Russia around the turn of the 20th century. First we’ll hear a movement from a piano concerto by Sergei Rachmaninoff, then a symphony by Sergei Prokofiev. (Lost of Sergeis!) Dmitri Shostakovich’s Piano Concerto No. 2 will close out the show!
