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.

This week Classical Music Amarillo presents a program of music by Béla Bartók and Johann Sebastian Bach!

On Friday and Saturday, January 19th & 20th, theAmarillo Symphony will present their “Bach to Bartók” program, a concert that will open with Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Overture to his opera Don Giovanni followed by German composer Johann Sebastian Bach’s Harpsichord Concerto in D minor (featuring harpsichordist Mahan Esfahani) and Hungarian composer Béla Bartók’s Concerto for Orchestra.

This week Classical Music Amarillo re-visits several of the orchestra’s past performances of works by Bartok and J.S. Bach. You can look forward to hearing Bartók’s Hungarian Pictures as well as Leopold Stokowski's orchestral transcription of Bach's Passacaglia and Fugue in C Minor, and Bach's Concerto for Two Violins and Brandenburg Concerto No. 5.
