Amarillo Symphony Presents: Around the World

This week on Amarillo Symphony Presents, tune in for symphonic masterpieces based on timeless stories from other lands.

First, lose yourself in the "Danse Bacchanale" from the final act of Camille Saint-Saëns’s grand opera, Samson & Delilah. It’s based on the Old Testament's Book of Judges. (Lawrence Loh, conductor.)

Next, we will embark on a journey into the Middle East with Nikoli Rimsky-Korsakov’s musical imagining of One Thousand and One Nights, also known as The Arabian Nights. His symphonic suite, “Scheherazade,” will feature Elisa Barstow on violin. (Stilian Kirov, conductor.)

Don’t miss this special presentation of Amarillo Symphony Presents, only on listener-supported High Plains Public Radio.

As the host of Open Range, Steve Johnson brings a lifetime of hearing and performing a wide variety of music to this unique program. Growing up in a home where everything from opera to Bill Evans and the Beatles were heard and embraced, he studied piano in college where he became passionate about free-form radio where you might hear everything from punk rock to classic country or jazz in the course of a few hours. Open Range is your invitation to an hour of radio unleashed- presented with heart and humor. All you need for this adventure is an open mind and open ears.
