Mussorgsky and Ravel

Tune in to Classical Music Amarillo this week to hear music by Maurice Ravel and Modest Mussorgsky, two composers whose works will be featured at the upcoming Amarillo Symphony concert in September!

The Amarillo Symphony will open its 101st season on the 13th and 14th of this coming September with a program that will feature both Maurice Ravel’s Une barque sur l’ocean as well as Ravel's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky’s Pictures at an Exhibition, the latter of which will be accompanied by digital art by Geoff Case.

This week Classical Music Amarillo will open by revisiting the Amarillo Symphony's 2013 performance of Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition, and the Harrington String Quartet's 2020 performance of Ravel's String Quartet in F will comprise the second half of the program. Join us!

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