The Phoenix Symphony Returns!

More from this show

The Phoenix Symphony broadcast, featuring performances from their “Classics Series,” returns to the airwaves for another season. Listen every Wednesday evening at 7:00 p.m. Enjoy world-class performances from Beethoven and Mozart to Copland and Barber, along with many new works. All performances are recorded by Arizona PBS’s own Central Sound.

Some highlights to look forward to this season: Antonin Dvorak invites us to explore a NEW WORLD… You’ll tour the heavens with Gustav Holst’s THE PLANETS and Gustav Mahler’s Symphony #4 incorporating his song, THE HEAVENLY LIFE… Gabriela Ortiz gives us a peek inside a Mexican nightclub with her 2019 orchestral work, ANTROPOLIS … and visit the fairy tale world of MOTHER GOOSE courtesy of Maurice Ravel. The broadcast season opens with a concert conducted by Paolo Bortolameolli, who is now The Phoenix Symphony’s Music Director Designate.

Broadcasts begin Wednesday, October 7 and run until December 16.

Along with bringing The Phoenix Symphony broadcast to your home, our team at Central Sound uses equipment provided by DTS, Incorporated to present each broadcast in DTS Neural Surround™. Broadcasts on DTV 8.5 Classical Arizona PBS are in Dolby Digital Discrete Surround Sound. This technology brings the experience of sitting in the best seat of a performance hall directly to our listeners.

This season is hosted by Suzanne Bona, host and executive producer of Sunday Baroque.
