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.

I scream! You scream! We all scream for...Johannes Brahms! Tune in this week for Classical Music Amarillo's celebration of this German composer, pianist, and conductor from the mid-Romantic period.

This coming weekend, the Amarillo Symphony will present the third concert of its exciting centennial season. The show will open with the U.S. Premiere of Anna Meredith’s Fringe Flower and continue with Samuel Barber’s nostalgic Knoxville Summer of 1915, which will feature soprano Sara Hershkowitz. Johannes Brahms’s Symphony No. 1 is also on the program, which will close with a "bluegrass surprise!"

So don't miss Classical Music Amarillo this week as we enjoy encore Amarillo Symphony performances of works by Johannes Brahms, including his Symphony No. 2 and Tragic Overture.
