KZNA-FM 90.5 serving northwest Kansas is operating at just 10% power using a back up transmitter while work continues to install a new transmitter. It is hoped that this work will completed on Thursday with KZNA back to its full 100,000 watts of power with a state of the art transmitter to serve the area for many years to come.
If you can't receive KZNA at its reduced power, you can listen via the digital stream directly above or on the HPPR mobile app. For questions please contact station staff at (800) 678-7444 or by emailing hppr@hppr.org

Classical Music Amarillo Celebrates 50!

This week Classical Music Amarillo will celebrate its 50th episode by revisiting local premieres of celebratory commissions.

Tune in to Classical Music Amarillo this week for a program of celebratory commissions. We'll open the show with Golden Rhapsody, Op. 17, a work by Christopher Lowry, who until recently was the principal violist for the Amarillo Symphony and is currently at work on a commission celebrating the orchestra's upcoming centennial season. Lowry's Golden Rhapsody was commissioned to celebrate the 50th concert season of the Blair School of Music at Louisiana State University. Samuel Jones's Roundings will conclude the program this week, a work that was commissioned by the Amarillo Symphony in celebration of their 75th season (1999-2000) and based on a series of WPA murals created in and around the Texas Panhandle with the sponsorship of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal.
